Early Help consultancy, advice and guidance
Early Help Officers provide Early Help consultancy to support any agency undertaking Early Help work. Early Help consultancy includes:
- being the first point of contact for advice and guidance, when an agency is unclear if a contact needs to be made to the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub
- advising if the child or family is already open to a children and families services
- supporting others to complete an Early Help Assessment Signs of Wellbeing
- supporting Early Help coordinators across the partnership around our strengths based approach to the effective delivery of Early Help through briefings, workforce development, information, advice and guidance
- providing support and challenge to agencies completing Early Help Assessment Signs of Wellbeing, to ensure that the work they are completing, alongside children and families, has significant and sustained impact
- identifying and address any drift and delay in Early Help cases coordinated by partner agencies
