Early Support
The Early Support programme is a national government initiative providing co-ordinated and timely intervention for disabled children up to the age of five years and their families.
Within Hampshire, Early Support is delivered through Early Support Co-ordinators based throughout the county.
The Early Support approach promotes:
- improved joint assessment and joint working
- access to relevant information for families
- introduction of the key working/lead professional role to support family needs
Contact your local Early Support Co-ordinator to find out more.
