Early help is about our children, young people and families getting the right help at the right time, before issues get worse.

We want all our children and young people, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), to achieve the best possible outcomes and receive the support they need when they need it most.

The purpose of early help at Brimscombe CE VA primary is to prevent issues and problems becoming serious and harmful to the child, young person, family and community. 

We work closely with our area Early Help Coordinator for advice on a wide range of issues as well as signposting families to external support available to them. Our teachers and SENCo are available to talk to and discuss any issues or problems. 

We can offer support or signpost parents and carers to agencies for a wide range of issues, problems and concerns for example: 

• Bereavement
• Mental Health support
• Housing 
• Debt
• Parenting 
• Family break ups 

You can email our SENCo Mrs Singh  direct: senco@brimsombe.gloucs.sch.uk
