Case Studies
These case studies are hypothetical examples intended to demonstrate how the evidence in this Practice Guide could be applied by the workforce and local leaders to support families. We will update the case studies in partnership with local authorities.
Child First
Child First is a therapeutic, home-based intervention targeted at infants/toddlers/children aged 0 to 5 years old who are at risk of developmental delay, abuse and neglect, and emotional problems. The intervention aims to provide a tailored package of support to meet the unique needs of families. This case study highlights the importance of targeted early support for families facing adversity, with a child at risk of developmental delay, abuse and neglect.
Strengthening families through collaborative Early Help parenting support
Fairfield is a large metropolitan borough with significant income disparities across the local area and some families experience high levels of deprivation. A recent rise in referrals from health providers and primary schools for parenting support led to the Local Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP) conducting a review to understand the reasons for this increase.
