Early Help and Targeted Support Service

Early help means providing support as soon as a problem emerges, at any point in a child’s life, from the foundation years through to the teenage years. At its heart it is about providing support by practitioners who have an existing, trusted relationship with the child, young person or family in order to intervene early and prevent problems from escalating.

Out of office hours

Outside of office hours, you should contact the Emergency Duty Team (EDT) or, if you have concerns about the immediate safety of the child or you believe a serious criminal offence has been committed please contact the Police at any time on 101.
