Early Help Locality teams support all 5 neighbourhoods across the borough and are physically based in the Children Centres in Bury, Radcliffe and Whitefield.
The teams work with children and young people, age 0-19, and their families (25 years if SEND). Each team has a practitioner who is linked to a school, so that every school in the borough has a named Early Help Social Worker. The Early Help Locality teams link with partner organisations to ensure a joined-up approach
Where additional support is required the Early Help Practitioners from the Locality Teams will work with a family to understand their needs and create a plan of support to promote positive change.
Support ranges from mental health, education concerns, Parenting conflict, healthy relationships and much more.
If you feel your family could benefit from extra help, you can self-refer or be referred by a professional. Early help aims to address issues early to prevent problems from escalating
