There may be times when you or your children need support, and times when you're not sure how to make things better. Hope School is committed to providing Early Help to our students and their families.

What is Early Help?

For some time now agencies and services have been working together to help families, as we know that the sooner help and support is provided, the better families can begin to help themselves and stop things getting worse. All services and agencies in Liverpool work with an information gathering tool called an early help assessment tool (EHAT). 

You'll be asked to share information about your circumstances, your difficulties and things that go well in your family. Everyone involved can clearly see what's been discussed so you can get the most appropriate help and support from a range of services. As information can be shared with other workers and services, you only have to tell ‘your story’ once, rather than lots of times to different people.

This is voluntary, and is there to help you and your family, who will be involved in the EHAT every step of the way.
