The government does not currently collect data on the type of support provided through early help services and its impact on wellbeing. The Supporting Families Programme is testing ways of collecting needs and outcomes data on early help. The government will also consider any relevant recommendations from the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care. Learning from both will inform any next steps.
