"By training our Early Help teams and school staff, we’ve been able to provide timely, trauma-informed support without the need for escalation to social care. Children are receiving the right help, at the right time, from the people they know and trust. One child described it best when they said, ‘It helps to release your anger in a calm way.’ That’s exactly the kind of impact we want to see."
