The Sandwell Early Help Looking Back….. Springing Forward Event is on Friday 24 March 2023, 10.00 am – 1.00 pm at the Bethel Convention Centre, Kelvin Way, West Bromwich, B70 7JW
It’s been almost a year since we launched the Sandwell Early Help for Children and Families Strategy 2022-2024; and wow, what a year it’s been! So many of you have joined us and continued with us on our journey of support for children and families in Sandwell and have contributed to the positive changes made and seen in Sandwell’s approach to Early Help.
Our ‘year on’ event will reflect on the last year. Sharing what our journey has involved, where we have reached and, more importantly, where we are heading. It will give attendees the opportunity to hear from Partners about their contributions, developments and experience of Early Help processes in Sandwell. The Event will look at what our children and young people know about Early Help, and how together we can ensure they know how to access the support available to help achieve positive outcomes for them. Our event will also showcase some of the activities/services available locally for children and young people.
