First Step has built up effective partnerships across the local professional community and believes that working in partnership to deliver a coordinated approach, is fundamental is providing the right support to meet the individual needs of families.
We offer termly Professional Café’s which are an opportunity for local professionals to network and find out what is happening in the local area, to support Children and their families. Each Café offers the opportunity for a local agency/sector to share information on their service.
