Early Help Assessments and Plans (EHAP)
Ealing Council is expanding its Early Help outreach to improve accessibility for families across the borough.
Ealing Council is expanding its Early Help outreach by offering sessions in community venues across the borough, aiming to improve accessibility for families who face barriers to traditional Children's Centres. This initiative, which seeks to enhance engagement and reach more families, was discussed by councillors at the Children's Services Scrutiny Panel in November 2025, where they reviewed the Early Help Strategy and the revised Children's Centre offer.
Early Help Assessments and Plans (EHAP) are services provided by Ealing Council. The expansion specifically targets families experiencing difficulties accessing support, including those in areas of high deprivation, with language barriers, or due to high demand for services. No further discussions or decisions on this expansion are currently scheduled.
