This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Operational Manager for FIRST, Donna Briggs, for the attention of all audiences on TheLink.
Building on the success of our FIRST (Family Information Resource Support Team) pilot of early help services and the improvements this has made to children's social care services at Slough Children's Services Trust and Slough Borough Council, we are now ready to launch Phase 2 of our early help and one front door joined up service.
The new service is simpler and clearer for referrers: all referrals, both early help and social care, will come into the one front door - no need for referrers to decide whether this is tier 2 or tier 3.
one agreed referral form
one phone number - 01753 875362
one email address for referrals - currently sloughchildren.referrals@scstrust.co.uk
The One Referral Form is yet to be finalised but will be accessible in due course. If you have any questions then please contact:
