All families face challenges and sometimes need support. Early Help is about providing this support as soon as possible to tackle difficulties for children, young people and families before they become more serious. We work with the whole family and the child / young person is at the centre of all we do.
Working with partners, Barnet’s 0-19 Service provides help and support to families, children and young people up to the age of 19 (or 25 with a disability).
Early Help Services in Barnet recognise that many families will continue to need help and support, particularly while children are spending more time at home. We are working hard to ensure that we continue to deliver some 0-19 Early Help Services, albeit in a different way.
We have needed to cease group activities for the time being but we are working with our providers to develop online access to activities where possible. We will update our webpage when these are available. www.barnet.gov.uk/0-19 and www.barnetyouth.uk
