Lambeth Safeguarding Children Partnership

Lambeth Community Early Help

Lambeth Community Early Help is a partnership approach to ensuring that children, young people, and families receive additional support at the earliest opportunity to prevent difficulties and take immediate action when emerging difficulties are identified to prevent them from getting worse.

Our vision is to make a positive difference for children, young people, and families by providing the best early help support in the country. We will do this by strengthening relationships and building upon the collective skills, knowledge and resources of our families, our communities, and our council.

Model policies have been formulated in accordance with the Statutory Guidance for Early Years and with national and local safeguarding procedural guidelines. Please access them below –
