Reaching more children, young people and families through the right conversation at the right time leading to the ' right service.'

What is early help?

Early help is simply providing support to children, young people and families as early as possible to prevent problems from escalating.

Everyone needs help sometimes and the good thing about getting it EARLY is that it can stop things from getting worse and can even stop something you might be worried about from happening if you ask for help before it happens - this is often called PREVENTION.

There are lots of places and people where you can receive 'early help'; from school to your doctor to family support workers or youth workers and the way you access support from them will be different depending on where they are based.

What early help services does Slough Children First provide?

Slough Children First provides 'targeted support' services.

When there are a number of challenges impacting your family or the additional support that you have been given isn't helping, a Family Support Worker or Targeted Youth Worker may be able to offer further support.

Working with you, your children, other family members and other professionals and services, they will complete an Early Help Assessment and create an action plan with everyone to find a way to make things better.

Everyone will work together to support your family through a 'Team Around the Child and their Family' process where you will be part of the 'team' who meet regularly to discuss the plan of support, focus on what is improving and decide on any further interventions needed.

Access to the targeted early help support is available through Slough Children First's Referral and Assessment Team (also known as the Front Door) by self-referring or by referral from a professional.

If self-referring, please call us on 01753 875362.

If you are a professional, referring a child and family for targeted early help support, please complete the Multi-Agency Referral Form (MARF) and email to sloughchildren.referrals@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk.

Our clothing donations come from various sources, and we take great care to ensure that they are of the highest quality for our clients. We also offer support with baby equipment, school uniforms, toiletries, sanitary products, prom outfits, curtains, bedding, towels, and bras. We offer self-selection appointments or delivery across Berkshire.

To receive our support, you’ll need a referral from a professional or organisation such as social services, health professionals, schools, religious organisations, charities, the Citizens Advice Bureau, Foodbanks, Jobcentre, or refugee organisations. Once we receive your referral, we’ll discuss your preferences and needs with you to tailor our support to your unique situation. While we can only offer one-time support to adults in need, we can provide further support to children after six months. We recognise that ongoing support can be crucial during difficult times, so we can connect you with other organisations or resources in the community that may be better suited to meet your ongoing needs. If you need support with getting a referral or more information on how we can help you, please contact us. We’re here to provide you with a helping hand and a friendly smile."

Teachers play a vital role in supporting children to develop healthy, positive relationships, learn how to treat others with kindness and stand up against abusive or unkind behaviour.

High quality teaching about relationships can show children how to respect other people's boundaries, how to communicate in a healthy way with an understanding of consent, and how to challenge stereotypes.

This teaching takes place both in the classroom across a broad and balanced curriculum, and outside the classroom by encouraging students to challenge prejudice.

This section brings together resources to support effective teaching and safeguarding.

The scale of the issue

Crimes that disproportionately affect women and girls such as sexual harassment, rape, online abuse and domestic abuse, can have a profound and long-lasting impact on victims.

The Ofsted review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges (2021) surveyed children aged 13+ on what types of harmful sexual behaviours they think happened 'a lot' or 'sometimes' between people their age:

79%

of girls said sexual assault

88%

of girls said receiving pictures or videos they did not want to see

53%

of boys said rumours about sexual activity

92%

of girls said experiencing sexist name-calling

The council has joined up with Lightning Reach, a financial support portal where residents can easily find and apply for a range of help.

Individuals can complete a profile by answering a simple 10–15-minute questionnaire.

Once the profile is complete, they will be able to see the available support they may be eligible for in one place, get updated when more support is added, and apply for multiple sources of support directly through the portal.

This can include targeted help with energy bills, home improvements to boost energy efficiency, warm clothing, and essential winter supplies.

The council is training some of its housing officers on the system, so they can use it for their clients, or direct them to try the portal themselves.

Councillor Paul Kelly, lead member for housing, highways, planning and transport, said: “It is fantastic to have such a portal where residents can find out about a variety of support and only need to make one profile to be able to start applying.

To find out more about making a profile, visit the Lightning Reach website.
