Investing in wellbeing and happiness
There are times when a child may need extra emotional, social or behavioural support. Identifying this need and addressing it in the form of one-to-one support or group support is key to achieving positive and happy outcomes for all our children. In addition, we can support families by organising for other Early Help specialists to come into school to work with a pupil during the school day. Such external specialists may already be working with a family, for example, a Bereavement Counsellor, or could be a result of an Early Help referral that the school can make for a family through Worcestershire Children First.
