Our Sheffield Early Help Workforce includes a wide range of professionals and volunteers.
They contribute to making Sheffield an inclusive city. A city where we work together to make sure that all children get the right support at the right time. This is so children live a happy and fulfilled life.
We help with these key outcomes:
In all our work we make sure that children and young people with additional needs get identified. This is so they get the support they need to reach their full potential.
We have a huge range of free training available. This is so our Early Help Workforce are skilled and supported to do the work that they need to do. This supports their continual professional development. It means children and families will get high quality services delivered by well trained workers.
Free safeguarding courses, workshops and e-learning for the children and adult workforce are available through the Sheffield Children’s Safeguarding Partnership. The training section of our website also signposts free courses provided by partner agencies.
