Course Details

Referring to Early Help in Education is a comprehensive CPD course designed to raise awareness and deepen understanding of the critical role early help plays in supporting children and young people within educational settings. Aimed at teachers, school leaders, support staff, and professionals working with children, this course explores how early help can intervene before issues escalate, ensuring learners receive the right support at the right time.

Participants will gain a solid foundation in what early help is, why it matters, and how it aligns with a school’s wider safeguarding responsibilities. The course outlines how early help can promote positive outcomes by addressing emerging needs, supporting family wellbeing, and enhancing students' engagement, behaviour, and academic performance.

The course provides practical guidance on identifying when early help may be needed, how to refer to appropriate services, and how to work collaboratively with families, multi-agency teams, and local authorities. Participants will also learn to recognise the key elements that contribute to successful early help interventions, including effective communication, timely action, and tailored support.

Additionally, the course explores the challenges and barriers children and families may face when accessing early help services, and how schools can play a proactive role in overcoming them.

By the end of the course, educators will be equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to identify needs early, refer appropriately, and contribute to a more supportive and preventative approach in education.
