Those of you who were able to attend the summer network session will hopefully remember Alex Morris Perkins who spoke about the Early Help 0-5 Team they are available and will support families with children under 5 years old. Working with health visitors, early years settings and midwifery to ensure that families seeking more help than what they already have from these partners can get the support they need at the earliest point.
The 0-5 Team offer includes opportunities to drop-in to talk to a dedicated team member about anything they may be struggling with. You can signpost families to the drop into their nearest family hub, contact Shropshire's First Point of Contact (FPOC) or explore this website for hands-on digital information.
The 0-5 Team can also provide more focused support to those families needing more specific help. This could include a family's early help assessment and plan. These tools will help us provide the right support to meet the needs of the family, and may include working with others.
