At Wincham Community Primary School, we are committed to supporting the well-being and development of all our pupils and their families. We recognise that sometimes families may face challenges that require additional support, and we are pleased to offer access to the Early Help Navigator service, provided by Cheshire West & Chester Local Authority.
What is Early Help?
Early Help is a voluntary service designed to provide support to children, young people, and their families at the earliest opportunity. It aims to address challenges before they escalate, helping families to build resilience and thrive.
Introducing Our Early Help Navigator
Our dedicated Early Help Navigator is here to provide guidance and support, connecting families with the right services and resources. They can offer assistance with a wide range of issues, including:
Parenting support and advice
Financial concerns
Housing difficulties
Emotional well-being
Access to community resources
Support for children with additional needs
How Can the Early Help Navigator Help?
The Navigator can work with families to identify their strengths and needs, develop a support plan, and connect them with appropriate services. They can also provide ongoing support and advocacy, ensuring families receive the help they need.
How to Access the Service
If you feel your family could benefit from Early Help support, please contact the school office. Our team can provide you with further information and arrange for you to speak with our Early Help Navigator. All conversations are confidential and conducted with sensitivity.
Working Together
We believe that by working together, we can create a supportive and nurturing environment for all our children and families. The Early Help Navigator service is a valuable resource that can help families overcome challenges and build a brighter future.
We encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or would like to learn more.
