EARLY HELP

There may be times when your child, you and your family require some advice and support.  Early Help is a system to ensure that you get the right help and support needed.  This is provided through the Pingle Academy early help offer. We have a strong relationship with their team of family resource workers and are able to make referrals to them with your permission.  The team can advise you of other agencies that can offer support for you and your family and also visit your child / children at home and in school to complete direct work.  Please see the information in the documents below.
