Key contacts - Family Support (Early Help)

For new referrals

Bradford Children’s Services now has a dedicated practitioners’ advice and referral contact number.

Call 01274 433999 if you want to seek support for a child, young person and their family.

Opening hours:

Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 5.00pm
Fridays 8.30am to 4.30pm

Once a case is allocated you will be given a name and direct contact details of the worker supporting the family.

Before making a referral

Prior to making a referral, all practitioners need to:

  • Refer to the Early Help Pathway
  • Speak with their Safeguarding Lead within their own organisation
  • Ask themselves “Have I/we done everything I/we can to help and support the family?”

Families who wish to self-refer for Early Help

Can use our freephone telephone line 0800 953 0966 which is open Monday to Thursday, 8.30am to 5pm or Friday, 8.30am to 4.30pm.

Alternatively they can visit one of our family hubs and speak to one of our friendly family navigators.
