Early assistance refers to support during a child's crucial formative years, when the foundational elements of future development are set, as well as support throughout a child's, young person's, and family's life to respond as quickly as possible when difficulties arise in order to prevent issues from festering or worsening.
All of Liverpool's strategic partners, including the volunteer sector, may use the Early Help Strategy as a springboard to evaluate how Early Help, provided in collaboration with kids, teens, and families, might improve life prospects, particularly for families with complex and numerous needs.
The partners are expected to commit to working in a different way.
For families to obtain Early Help as soon as problems arise, service reform must include a complete systems perspective.
For families and practitioners, there is an online version of the Liverpool Family Information & Support Directory.
The database includes details on several organisations and services, some of which are nationwide, that might help families.
Local Authorities are required to publish a Local Offer as part of the 2014 SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) reforms, which sets out in one place information about the services they anticipate will be provided across education, health, and social care for children and young people in their area who have SEN or a disability, including those who do not have Education, Health, and Care plans.
Local Authorities should include provisions that they anticipate will really be accessible when describing what they anticipate to be made available.
Liverpool's method of meeting this criterion is through the Liverpool Family Information & Support Directory.
Service providers can create an account on the website, which grants them access to the Liverpool Family Information & Support Directory, where their services, events, or activities can be included.
Utilization of the directory is tracked and reported to assist the Authority in identifying unmet service needs and to assist in the information planning of services that consumers are interested in.
