We are holding this consultation to gather your views about our draft Early Help Partnership Strategy 2022-2025 (the Strategy). Our current Strategy expires in March 2022, so we have created a new one to help us plan for the next 3 years.
We want to make sure that children, young people, and their families receive support to deal with problems before they get worse. This support is known as Early Help.
When problems grow, they can become longer-lasting, traumatic, harder to resolve and need more costly support from services like social care, health services and police.
Early Help involves many different services, which are provided by a range of organisations across Buckinghamshire. These organisations include the Council, NHS, schools, charities, community groups and others.
There are different types of support, such as advice and information, drop-in sessions at Family Centres, direct support from an individual professional, or coordinated support from a group of professionals working together.
