The Early Help Review will seek to achieve efficiencies by simplifying structures and processes, it will improve the quality of practice and the experience of children and families as they receive early help. It will develop the availability of evidence-based support and increase the engagement with children and families.
The review will focus on the need to develop integrated multi-disciplinary trauma informed services recognising the benefits of the Leeds Practice Model and the positive outcomes to be achieved for children and families as well as efficiencies that can be achieved through the increased integration of services.
The review will build on the successful cluster arrangements and the three existing Early Help Hubs to develop Family and Community Hubs that will ensure the delivery of effective localised multi-agency accessible support.
