Miss Huggins introduced children to mental health during assembly on 10 October 2022 for World Mental Health Day. We have attached the slides that were used for this:

Early Help is the support we offer to potentially vulnerable children, young people and their families.

The purpose of Early Help is to put in the right support at the right time so that problems are less likely to escalate to a point where the child becomes vulnerable or in need. Early Help is sustainable so that problems are less likely to re-occur.

Early Help does not always mean early years. While research does show that most impact can be made in those crucial first few years of a child’s life, Early Help can be needed and put in place at any time and at any age.

All children, young people and families in Warwickshire are entitled to receive Early Help. This means offering information, advice, guidance, and support to families as soon as a concern emerges, or seems likely to emerge.

For help with any issues relating to money, housing and benefits please see below some links and information that you might find helpful.
