What is Early Support?
Early Support is the help offered to potentially vulnerable children, young people and their families.
The purpose of Early Support is to put in the right support at the right time so that problems are less likely to escalate to a point where the child becomes vulnerable or in need. Early Support is sustainable so that problems are less likely to re-occur.
Early Support does not always mean early years. While research does show that most impact can be made in those crucial first few years of a child’s life, Early Support can be needed and put in place at any time and at any age.
All children, young people and families in Warwickshire are entitled to receive Early Support. This means offering information, advice, guidance, and support to families as soon as a concern emerges, or seems likely to emerge.

A new and refreshed training offer is currently being developed for lead professionals working with families. Please keep a look out for further communication.
