Early Help Service

What is early intervention?

Early intervention in Wokingham means:

• Providing targeted help at the right time throughout the life of child through to adulthood (including pre-natal interventions)
• Anticipating where need may arise in priority groups, often by an understanding of wider services at the right time to meet the family’s needs and to keep them in control of resolving their issues and problems
• Stepping in to prevent escalation of children, young people, and families needing any sort of specialist service
• When specialist intervention is needed, delivering permanent resolution in good time
