Early Help Service Postcode Checker January 2025Download

Birmingham’s Early Help service is making it easier for professionals to help families access commissioned services. Using the new Family Connect Form (FCF) – Commissioned Service Specialist Request form, schools and partners can now connect directly to the Early Help commissioned services when a family/child/young person is in need of a specific intervention.

As this is a pilot scheme, the two commissioned services currently using this form are Barnardo’s Mentoring and Barnardo’s Autism. The new FCF process will be reviewed in December to ascertain its effectiveness and its continued use. We will keep you updated on the review.

Please ensure you read the criteria before submitting the FCF as some requests may not be accepted if this criteria is not met. This can be found on the new FCF page directly or on the BCC page here, under “FCF Commissioned Service Specialist Request”

Please provide as much information as possible, as this helps us get the right support for you, as quickly as possible.

If you need more information or guidance, contact us: hallgreen.families@greensquareaccord.co.uk 

Support Services we work with that can help you

If you would like more information about support services we work with, or would like to contact some of our partner services directly, please look at our Family Support Directory – Hall Green Communities. Here you will find details of lots of free support available for children, young people and families in the Hall Green locality. If you need help accessing this support, please contact us or speak to your nursery, school or college.

From Birmingham With Love is another handy support directory, covering areas like mental health support, financial help, domestic abuse and much more.

Book a Community Drop-in or Support Surgery

If you would like our team to offer a family support drop-in or support surgery at your school or organisation to speak directly to families or young people, please contact hallgreen.families@greensquareaccord.co.uk with the subject line “Drop-In Surgery”.

Our Hall Green Families Drop-ins help us to meet with families that you work with and connect them to the local support that they need. These could be services around food provision, mental health, debt and benefit advice, clothing and school uniform, and much more.
