Early Help

Timely support is crucial for addressing the needs of children and families early, enhancing well-being, and reducing risks. 'Early help' refers to preventative care provided at any life stage to avoid escalating issues, while 'early intervention' targets specific concerns that aren't severe enough for child protection. Both aim to improve outcomes for children and can involve universal support accessible to all families. Effective prevention relies on community engagement and partnerships with professionals to ensure families access necessary support.
