Our brand new course, Helping Families - Making the Difference, launches on 24th June 2026.

KCSiE 2026 places duties on early years settings, schools and colleges to undertake an assessment and provide community based early help to families where they "do not require a referral to statutory services but may benefit from other support".

Education is seen as best placed to identify issues as they begin to emerge and put in place the right support alongside other universal services such as health, family hubs, youth services, after school clubs and housing provision.

The expectations on education settings are high, but the resources are limited and it's crucial we make the best use of time with the families we work with. You'll need to know your local geography, but there is a need to train and develop core assessment, relationship, intervention and evaluation skills to use your time most effectively with families.

The course draws on safeguarding case reviews and research on working purposefully with families, acknowledging some of the challenges and difficulties you and your team will experience.

There will be opportunities to work together and practice skills, a suite of templates to support intervention (including tools for analysis, direct work with families and links to relevant research) and a strong, interactive presentation with the chance to explore the questions that matter to the group.
