Early Help

 

At St Thomas Cantilupe we take time to work alongside our families. If you, your child or family would benefit from extra support with your well-being, or if you are worried about a difficult situation in your family you can contact us for support. You might benefit from Early Help.

 

What is Early Help?

Early Help is providing support to children, young people and their families as soon as problems start.  When a child, young person or the family need some extra support, Early Help is often the first response offered by those services in contact with them.  It can be required at any stage in a child's life, from pre-birth to adulthood, and applies to any problem or need that the family can't deal with alone.  Early Help can be school led or led by working with other agencies or a member of Herefordshire's Early Help team.

 

Early Help means acting early and as soon as possible to provide support where problems are emerging for children, young people and their families.

 

The type of things Early Help can support with include:

* Concerns about child’s health, development or behaviour
* How a child is doing at school
* Housing or financial concerns
* Children who may be aff­ected by domestic abuse, drugs, alcohol, ill health or crime

 

If you would like some advice and support, speak to one of the Mrs Laws and we can discuss what support is available.

 

 

Advice to parents and carers on keeping children safe

 

Call the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) helpline for support and advice if you have a concern for your own or another child’s safety on 0808 800 5000.

 

If you feel that a child is in immediate danger, call the police on 999. You can report concerns to the police on their non-emergency number, 101.

You can also contact the relevant social care team at your local council to report a concern about a child or adult. To contact Herefordshire social care team click here.

 

Children and young people who have been victims of a crime may need support to cope and recover. You don’t have to report the crime to the police to get support. You can find free, local support teams across England and Wales on the Victim and Witness Information site.
