Hi,

Voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations that come into contact with children and young people are incredibly diverse. They range from small groups such as local drama or art clubs primarily run by volunteers to large national organisations including charities with mainly paid staff.

One thing that they all have in common is the important part they can play in safeguarding and protecting the children and young people that they work with. Often they are in a good position to spot a problem developing at an early stage and put families in touch with services that can support them.

Dudley’s Early Help is about taking action early and as soon as possible to provide support for children, young people and their families who may be facing some challenges.

We want to take up a few minutes of your time to find out what VCS organisations understand about Dudley’s Early Help offer, what are the challenges, what’s working well and what support is needed. Please complete this short survey which will take around 5 minutes to complete all the information you provide will be treated as confidential and anonymised.
