Early Help
Early help refers to the offer of any information, advice or support to children, young people and their families as soon as possible in their lives or when issues emerge, to help prevent problems from escalating.
At St Wilfrid's our Early Help leads are Mrs Speed and Mrs Handley.

School has good working relationships with professionals from other agencies and we may recommend working with other services for further support. We currently work alongside a Partnership Link Worker from the Warrington South Early Help Support Team. She works with us to support families with a variety of needs and signpost them to other agencies or groups which may be able to offer help. If you would like to meet with her please get in touch with the school office and we can arrange an initial meeting.
Together we can offer you:
-Early Help Assessment (EHA): an EHA involves listening to you to find out what help you need and talking about what is working well in your life. Based on what you say and what help you would like, a plan is formulated so that professionals can work together to make sure you get the right sort of help. Mrs Handley meets with parents/carers to carry out an Early Help Assessment.
-Family Support Meetings: When an Early Help Plan is in place, we hold regular Team Around the Family meetings to ensure that the plan is working.
-Referrals to Outside Agencies: We can make referrals, such as the Family Outreach Team, parenting courses, our School Health Advisor, Warrington Youth Club, CAMHS and local Children’s Centres
