Early Help Offer

At Richardson Endowed Primary School we know that life at home can be difficult at times and that families may sometimes need a little extra help and support. To support and advise you at such times we have an Early Help Offer.

We believe that by working together we can better support children and families. Sometimes families need support from a wide range of agencies or people, for example, health services, housing services, family support workers, social workers and local police.

As a school we may be able to signpost a range of services to support families beyond the educational setting.

Early Help services aim to both provide advice and/or intervene where there is evidence of emerging needs with the objective of preventing escalation to higher level services.

As a school we aim to identify support early and to make sure that appropriate plans are in put in place. This will require families to work with school staff and other agencies if needed. We will also use existing interventions already in place in school such as counselling, and our Family Liaison Worker.

If you have any questions or would just like a listening ear, please contact us:
