Parents and carers

Early help

Children of any age can experience problems at times, and parents or carers can’t always meet their needs by themselves. When parents and children require some extra support it’s always best to put help in place as soon as it is needed, before things get worse.

Throughout your child’s life there are people around who you can go to for advice, guidance and support, for example:

  • Midwives
  • Health Visitors
  • GPs
  • Children Centre workers
  • Nursery workers
  • Teachers
  • Other workers you might be in contact with such as Youth Workers, PSCOs or Housing Officers

If you are looking for support in Stoke-on-Trent you can use the Stoke-on-Trent Community Directory or refer to the Integrated Front door for a Service Request Early Help / Children Social Care.
