Surrey’s Family Early Help Hub
Have you ever wondered why your child is behaving a certain way? Is that behaviour typical? What could be causing it? Is something wrong? These are common worries for everyone looking after babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. Surrey's Family Help Hub developed by Surrey County Council with lots of help from all our partners, is a site with a difference. You can search for information you need based on your child’s age and find advice, tips and tools from a variety of trusted sources all in one place.
This is a new service that Surrey County Council are developing and only a small section of what is planned long term.
