Dudley Early Help

Early Help is support given to a family when a problem first emerges.

This support can be offered at any stage during a child or young person's life.

In Dudley the Early Help Strategy ensures that the appropriate level of support is put in place for children, young people and families.

The Early Help Assessment

The Early Help Assessment forms a key part of the Early Help Strategy and is a simple way to help identify the needs of children, young people and their families and make a plan to meet those needs. It is designed to be a shared tool which can be used by all agencies in Dudley who are delivering Early Help. It is a standardised approach so that all children and families  Dudley  have the same experience of identifying their needs, strengths and challenges. It also means that all agencies and partners are operating the same system which ensures greater consistency.
