Early Help ensures that children and families receive accessible and co-ordinated support when they need it.

At every level, support is designed to address and reduce the problems or challenges and prevent them getting worse.

Experience and Skills Key Skills**:

  • Good communication and interpersonal skills across a range of audiences, with an ability to present information verbally and in writing which is clear, concise and accurate.
