EARLY HELP PLAN: CLOSURE AND FEEDBACK
If it is agreed that the aims of the Early help Action Plan have been achieved it is important to give the
child / young person and their family the chance to tell us how they feel about the process. All parts
of the form must then be sent to the relevant LST inbox.
CHILD/YOUNG PERSON FEEDBACK: If a decision has been taken to close the Early Help
Assessment, the child/young person should tick the statement which most applies.
1. I still don’t think I’ve had all of the help that I need and would like the support to continue.
2. I’m satisfied with the support I’ve been given and the changes that have happened in my life but still
have some worries about what will happen without extra support.
3. I’m very happy with the support I’ve been given and the changes that have happened in my life. I think it
is the right time for the extra support to end.
