Early Support Offer   

Early Support is the term used in Warwickshire to describe all support offered to potentially vulnerable children, young people and their families. The purpose of early support is to put in the right support at the right time so that problems are less likely to escalate to a point where the child becomes vulnerable or in need.  

Early Support is sustainable so that problems are less likely to recur. Early Support does not always mean early years. Although research shows that most impact can be made in those crucial first few years of a child’s life, early support can be needed and put in place at any time and at any age.  

All children, young people and families in Warwickshire are entitled to receive early support. This includes any signposting, guidance, support or service is offered as soon as a problem emerges or is likely to emerge.
