Children’s safeguarding and early help
The service provides direct support to the Access hub, and delivers a range of early help interventions by direct delivery and appropriately commissioned services (including children’s centres run by schools, parenting, work with young carers, family conferences and work on domestic abuse in families with children).
We also successfully deliver the National Troubled Families Expanded Programme (as Supporting Families in Central Bedfordshire) and we discharge Statutory Duties in the early years and childcare market, ensuring appropriate quality and accessibility, along with provision of information.
