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.
Family hubs
Family Hubs are a network of places and spaces across Stoke-on-Trent for children, young people and their families. They are a place families can visit to receive information and guidance on supporting the health and wellbeing of their family and themselves.
