Early Help
At De Havilland, we are not just here to support the children, we also aim to provide support for our families, either directly as a school or through a referral to a local service. We all experience problems and / or difficulties at some point in our lives and we want to help you find the early help, information support you may need before a situation escalates and you reach a crisis point.
By providing early help to families we aim for our families to overcome problems before they get worse. Any difficult or challenging times a family faces will have an impact on the whole family, including the children, no matter their age.
Early Help can :
-
enable children to live and thrive in a family environment
-
contribute actively to finding solutions to the issues they face
-
give families choices to find the right kind of support for their needs in the local area
-
recognise and build on the strengths of the family and improve their situation with support
Early Help aims to ensure all key partner agencies take a joined up approach and together, make the best use of their resources to help children, young people and families
You may not know where to look for early help, and it is difficult to know what services are available and how to use them. Families First can help.
'Families First' is the name Hertfordshire have given for all their Early Help support. By clicking on the link below you will have access to all the Early Help available via 'Families First'.
The Inclusion Team at school are always prepared to help you navigate the support offered via 'Families First' but we appreciate that reaching out for support may not be easy and sometimes you may want to do this for yourself. This is why we have included this page on our website.
