Family Support Teams consultation line

The Family Support Teams have a consultation line to help decide if an Early Help Assessment is right for a family's needs. The teams can also connect families to other local services and support.

To contact your local Family Support Team, use the email. The duty manager will aim to respond within 24 hours.

To discuss an Early Help Assessment, contact your local team directly. Refer to the area map to find the right team.
