Support services in Gloucestershire
If a child or young person is experiencing barriers to attending school, it is important that all services supporting them, their families and educational settings adopt a unified, joined-up approach over time.
Early Help
Early Help is about getting timely and effective support to children, young people and their families who need it, and also focuses on how families can be supported to do things for themselves and build on their strengths. The services we offer provide a range of advice guidance and support directly to families or other practitioners who are supporting them, alongside a range of targeted services where more help is needed.
