Sandwell 'Early Help Strategy' Consultation

1. Early Help Consultation

Sandwell's Early Help Strategy - which describes how children, young people and families can access support to help them address and manage their challenges at the earliest possible stage - is undergoing a refresh during 2016. This process is involving a wide range of different organisations and agencies who support children and families, across different sectors and in diverse settings, to create a stronger and more connected approach to helping our local residents.

We are inviting all organisations who deliver 'Early Help' to share with us their knowledge of the current partnership approach to providing this support.

The information you share will help us to understand what needs to be done to improve the way the voluntary and statutory organisations can work together.

If you have any questions about this please contact Mark Davis at SCVO on 0121 525 1127 mark@scvo.info
