Eligibility
Parents and families
Child and Family Centres are available for parents and families with children aged 0-25.
Sometimes children, young people, adults and families need additional or more targeted support. We use the Early Help Assessment to assess the needs of your family and make sure you get the help you need as quickly as possible. The process is voluntary, you can choose whether to be involved and you can withdraw from the process at any time.
To find out more about the Early Help Assessment you can speak to the person who suggested it, another professional who knows you and your family, or contact the Early Help Hub: early.helphub@cambridgeshire.gov.uk or call: 01480 376 666 (office hours).
