Early help means providing advice, help or support where we identify there is a specific need or difficulty within a family. As professionals we work alongside a child, young person and their family / carers to address the challenges they are experiencing, helping them to access the support and make any changes needed. This could be at any point in a child’s life, from birth to 18 years old and on more than one occasion, as we know children and young people are always growing and developing their needs change, as well as the needs of their families and carers. Early help is about supporting children and young people when there is a challenge in their lives or that of their families as soon as possible.

Thrive is a therapeutic approach to support all children with emotional and social development.
Our mission is to help all children become more emotionally resilient and better placed to engage with life and learning. We will achieve this through our whole-school approach to wellbeing - proven to improve attendance, behaviour and attainment.
Thrive promotes emotional and social growth by building positive relationships between a child, their peers and trusted adults, allowing them to explore and understand their feelings safely through a variety of activities.
Thrive helps children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
