Kids Inspire: Early Help Brief Solution Focused Support
The Family Innovation Fund Early Help Services are for Children, Young People and Parents/Carers with low level needs that cannot be supported by services such as Schools, and GPs alone. FIF provides that little bit of early help to support children, young people and parents/carers to have healthy inter-parental & family relationships, be emotionally healthy, happy and resilient, make behaviour choices that promote safety and wellbeing, and be socially connected and resourceful.
Referrals can be made for children and young people aged 8-19 years and/or a parent or carer where they:
- are Parents/Carers in conflict (co habiting/separated/step-parents)
- are exhibiting risky behaviors (of self or others) that jeopardise personal safety
- are home educated where early help can have a positive impact
- are at risk of going on to part-time school timetables or at risk of exclusion
- have moderate learning difficulties (without an Education and Health Care Plan)
- have low level behavioural issues (without an Education and Health Care Plan)
