The issue
Achieving our ambitions for disabled children and young
people and those with special educational needs and their
families will depend on changes in the ways that
education, health and social care professionals work with
children, young people and families and in the ways they
work with each other.

Early Support and culture change
Early Support provides a framework for action for the implementation of
the SEND provisions of the Children and Families Bill
Based on 10 principles, it provides a framework for cultural change and
practical tools to enable this
Early Support has "demonstrated the
impact that well coordinated family
focused services can have and it is
helping to ensure that the legislativeframework translates into real change
for families

Families, 2013

The developmental journal allowed me
to share information with the nursery
and they with me. It helped the nursery
to plan his IEPs with me and celebrate
small steps of his progress, rather than
just focusing on how far behind his peershe was.

Cornwallkey insight
..we operate as a preventative service. Some families aresupported longer term, but for many its about supporting them
through a key transition period or a period of crisis. Support may
be light touch, with a meeting and new action plan every six
months or so to help with co-ordination. That process just ticks
along nicely, but if you take it away, families move into crisis.

Plymouths vision - Embedding Early
Support at a time of change
Whole system approach
Aiming to bring all targeted services together within a single
structure to provide a coordinated response regardless of whether
the additional need springs from disability or something else.
Entails an overarching workforce development strategy
Early Support is central to Plymouths forward planning for the SEND
reformsa key priority is to maintain a similar way of working with
families across statutory and non-statutory processes. Key working is everyones responsibility
A practitioner commented - The good thing is that Early Support
has now become so embedded that its no longer a service, its just
become the way we work with families.
