Early Help Offer

Early Help Offer

At Elmsett we understand that from time to time family life can have its complications. These may be times when you need a little extra help.

To support and advise you at such times we have an Early Help Offer.

Our safeguarding and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities teams can offer advice on a range of concerns or can signpost parents to other sources of information, help and support.

What sort of concerns might parents share with our team?

A wide range of issues such as behaviour management, financial worries and debts, domestic abuse, housing concerns, mobility difficulties, bereavement and loss, cyber bullying - in fact any concerns which you are worried might be having a negative impact on your child(ren).
