Purpose

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.
