Wandsworth's Early Help Service aims to support families where there may be potential issues arising, and help them to minimise these issues before they become more serious.
There is the 'universal' offer which is available to all families, whether involved in direct early help support or not. This includes information, advice and guidance on services and support for children, young people and families. These services, amongst many others, can be found on the Family Information Service website.
Then there is more 'targeted' work. Schools, children’s services and the health service offer a range of targeted services for children who need extra support. There are a range of services working within Wandsworth that provided support to families including mediation, mentoring, housing, job employment, debt support, SEND support services, children's centres, early education and childcare places team, community youth and playgroups. These services can support the individual child and the family.
