NEW Sandwell Early Help Assessment

26.09.2022

Across the partnership we have spent the last few months devising a new EHA for Sandwell. A number of practitioners/managers from across sectors including; schools, voluntary sector organisations, health, Police, SMBC and the Trust were involved in the review and started by looking at examples of EHA from 4 ‘outstanding’ Local Authorities.  After six multi agency consultation events and lots of feedback, we are pleased to announce we have arrived at the new EHA for Sandwell - a big thank you to all who contributed and helped get to this point.

The new electronic version on the Early Help System (EHM), will be launched on Monday 3 October 2022.

To promote the new form, there will be a series of 30 mins MS Teams briefing every day during the first ‘go live’ week at different times throughout the day to give as many people/professionals the opportunity to attend. The briefings will introduce the form to the partnership, there will be some system support/advice and we will share information on how to access ongoing support.
