The most effective early help is a graduated and proportionate response to children’s needs, and focuses on helping the whole family at the earliest opportunity.
This approach helps to prevent challenges from escalating and needing statutory intervention. It is also an approach that will support positive change and plan for the child's needs at the right time.
