[Multi Agency Mental Health Offers](https://www.compass-uk.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Chorley-and-South-Ribble-Early-Intervention-Mapping-Document.pdf) --- Early help (sometimes referred to as 'early intervention') services are provided by local authorities. The type of support on offer can vary a lot. Many services will provide information and advice to support families. This can be offered in a one-to-one setting or as part of a group. Early help can prevent children from harm and needing further support from social care. Services and financial support for these have been cut by over a fifth. Waiting lists have arisen dramatically and therefore it is important for us as a school to provide all of the following universal services as Early Help, before any Early Help Assessment is completed. By undertaking this we are supporting families by staying together and offering them the support they need.
