Stockton Heath Primary School

Early help can include support with: parenting, employment, housing issues, financial difficulties, substance misuse, domestic abuse, parental conflict, education, school attendance and mental health.

Any professional working with a family, such as schools, health services and voluntary sector organisations, can offer early help
services as soon as they can see that advice or support may be needed.

Listed below are some ways in which support is available at Stockton Heath: 

*Mr Harding and Mrs Collins are available to talk to parents/carers each morning or after school on the playground when you drop your child off/collect at school. You may wish to discuss any concerns  you have regarding behaviour, learning or any other support you require. 

*Mrs Collins & Mrs Coneeny run the school's safeguarding team and can be contacted via the school office to discuss any concerns or worries you may have regarding your child. 

*Mrs Collins and Mrs Coneeny work in partnership with families to complete referrals to a wide range of different organisations such as Early Help, Nurture programme and Health services etc, in order to create a package of support that meets the needs of the whole family. 

*We work closley with our Partnership Link Worker from the Early Help Support Team who can support with connecting families to community resources, co-ordinating services and completing paperwork.
