Early Help

Early Help

Penwortham Primary School works to provide Early Help to those children and families in the school community with emerging needs, which may not be appropriate for Social Services intervention. Early help means providing support to our children and families as soon as a problem emerges at any point in a child’s life.

We understand how complicated family life can be. From time to time, there may be situations where you need some extra help and support. You can always come and talk to us.

Successful Early Help will mean:

Children:

·are physically and emotionally healthy

·are resilient and able to learn well

·are supported by our families, community and (when necessary) professionals in order to thrive

·live in safe environments

Parents & Carers:

·support one another in the community

·know where to get help if needed

·have trusted relationships with school, the community & other parents

·are well informed about how best to help their child’s development and are motivated to make great choices
