Early Help

EARLY HELP OFFER

At South Wingfield Primary School, we understand that children and families sometimes need a little extra support to thrive. Early Help is our way of offering that support as soon as challenges arise—whether at home, at school, or in the wider community.

Early Help is about working together to identify needs early and provide the right support at the right time. This might include advice, access to services, or help from professionals such as family support workers, health visitors, or educational specialists. Our aim is to build strong relationships with families and ensure every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.

If you feel your family could benefit from Early Help, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of staff or contact the school office. We’re here to listen and help.

OUR AIMS:

To work to families' strengths... ...especially those of parents / carers and to take time to understand their needs fully.
To focus on preventing problems... ...before they occur and try to offer flexible, responsive support when and where it's required.
To base all we do on evidence... ...of both what is needed and of what works and be brave enough to stop things that are wrong.

 

SUCCESSFUL EARLY HELP WILL MEAN:

Children:
  • are physically and emotionally healthy
  • are resilient and able to learn well
  • are supported by their families, community and (when necessary) professionals in order to thrive
  • live in safe environments
Parents and carers:
  • support one another in the community
  • know where to get help if needed
  • have trusted relationships with school, community, other parents 
  • are well informed about how best to help their child develop
