Earliest Help Partnership Event 2026

This year’s annual partnership event brought together colleagues from across Arun and Chichester for a joint session focused on strengthening our collective work with children and families. During the event, attendees heard updates on the progress and future direction of the Families First Programme in West Sussex, explored the developing Best Start Family Hubs offer across both districts, and received information about our local approach to identifying and responding to early indicators of child exploitation.

The session also provided dedicated time for networking, encouraging partners and professionals from a wide range of sectors to connect, share insights, and learn more about the services and support available to families in the Arun and Chichester areas.
