Westmorland and Furness Council is consulting on its new Family Help strategy. This is the first Family Help Strategy since becoming a new council in April 2023 – the strategy provides a framework for our work at early help level which is grounded in the belief that early intervention and prevention are essential to promoting positive outcomes for children and families.

To ensure our strategic approach is coherent, we will align our priorities and actions with those captured in other key strategies and plans, this strategy is aligned to the Ambition for Every Child (Children and Young People’s Plan).
