What is early help?
Early help is a team effort, not just one service. All agencies that work with children, young people and families are responsible for listening to their concerns and worries. They'll work closely with families to make sure they get the right support at the right time.
Our goal is to strengthen our relationships in communities, where we all work together, combining our ideas with other services to help families in Shropshire.
If you're concerned about a child or would like some advice and support, call 0345 678 9021.

What families tell us about the Early Help team...
“It's been really positive. We've had lots of help, pointing us in the right direction, help with our daughter's behaviour, financial help, sleep advice. Play practitioner has helped us to do things together as a family.”
“I was always consulted and I had a good collaboration with the Early Help team…everything worked out good for us. The early intervention put us on the right path and gave my son a chance. Now my son is thriving being in the right environment with trained teachers in special needs. Made a huge difference for us as a family and for him personally. He's developing wonderfully. I'm very proud of him.”
“Helpful and understanding. Comfortable chat and not being interrogated, can talk about life and not judged.”
“Positive, good clear communication. Very supportive.”
