The Early Help Hub Overview
- Base for professionals to come together & share
information in order to receive the most appropriate and effective support at the earliest point
- Established through a strong partnership – Public & Voluntary
Sector Organisations working together and taking collective responsibility to support families under the Norfolk Threshold Framework – right support/right time.
- 4 Norfolk priorities for Children and Young People are:
Health and Resilience, safety and care, to develop learn and achieve and be ready for adult life
- Professionals work together to recognise concerns &
referrals are dealt with in the most appropriate way – Thresholds (Universal, EH, CIN, CP)
- Aims – to reduce duplication, delay and ensure the most
suitable service is identified
How it Operates :
A Duty Connector is at the hub duty desk
Monday - Friday between 9am and 430pm to record any enquiries/information coming in from professionals. These could be via email, telephone or face to face (NB:Contacts at end of Presentation)
Consent Case &/or Event recorded Hot Desks available
These cases will be discussed the next day at 9.30am
when Collaboration takes place. Any professional can turn up to bring a case to the table. The Duty Connector will Chair this meeting.
Consent & Confidentiality The person bringing the case will still retain the case -
but other professionals will assist by giving advice and suggesting agencies to support.
Collaboration is also an ideal time to bring any details of
events/training to share amongst professionals
At present, one agency is overseeing the Hub Connector
post on a weekly basis. These agencies are: EHFF , GYBC, Police and GYCT
