Early Help is a pathway to support you and your child as they grow up when you or they may need further support or guidance.  

At East Prescot Road, we appreciate that children and families may face particular challenges from time to time and we strive to provide the necessary support to alleviate these challenges.

Providing early help to our children and families means we can improve outcomes for children, families, and communities, by providing support as soon as a problem emerges, at any point in a child’s life, from the early years through to teenage years. 

Early Help can support children and families who may be struggling with:

• Routines and family rules
• Families who may be not be eating healthy food
• Keeping to a healthy lifestyle
• Children who are caring for a family member (young carers)
• Children who may not want to go to school for different reasons
• Disability within the family including children being a young carer  
• Children in the family have special educational needs (SEND)
• Children who may be becoming involved in anti-social or criminal behaviour  
• Children who go missing from home
• Children or parents / carers misusing drugs or alcohol  
• Children at risk of being tricked, forced, or made to work in the criminal world  
• Children who may need support because they may live in a home and see drug or alcohol abuse or adult mental health problems
• Children who have parents who argue a lot (and sometimes might hurt each other) whether the parents live together or apart
• Children at risk of being groomed to join groups which support illegal views -
• A privately fostered child (a child from another family living within your family home) 
• Families who may be struggling financially.

If you are facing challenges at home, please know that we are here to help you.  You may want to come in and talk to a member of staff.  Our Inclusion and Family Support Lead, Moira Kelly, will be happy to listen and try to assist you.  Or, you can ring school and ask to speak to Moira on 0151 228 4672.
