Enabling every pupil to become happy, secure, enthusiastic life-long learners who can experience personal success.
Ashbourne Hilltop Primary and Nursery School strives to support families and young people with wellbeing and mental health needs in a number of ways.
‘Early help’ describes any service that supports children and families as soon as problems emerge.
Examples of early help services include:
Early help (sometimes referred to as ‘early intervention’) services are available via school, but may also be provided by local authorities. The type of support on offer can vary a lot. Many services will provide information and advice to support families. This can be offered in a one-to-one setting or as part of a group. They may also help families find solutions to specific problems.
There are early help services for parents, children or whole families. All early help is voluntary – families do not have to participate if they don’t want to. Early help could provide support at any stage in a child or young person’s life.
