Make a referral
Before you refer a family for support, you can direct them to our online advice and guidance at family hubs or Start for Life. These online resources will signpost families to advice and guidance on a wide range of topics.
If a family has a greater need, professionals can refer families for support once you have their consent.
Volunteers can help a family self-refer for support.
Professionals, volunteers and families can complete our request for support form online.
Please include as much detail as possible on the referral to make the process as smooth as possible.
You can use the form to request:
- Support from a specific service or intervention
- A more general request for help
Our Early Help advisors will triage your request and identify the best support for the family.
