Tameside Early Help Strategy 2023-2026
Would you like to influence Tameside’s approach to early help?
The Tameside Early Help Strategy 2023-2026, is a partnership document underpinning our commitment to early intervention, building on the previous Tameside Early Help Strategies of 2017 and 2020.
It would be great to hear your views to ensure we have an early help strategy which reflects the needs of the borough and works well for families. A link to a pdf of the strategy is available on the first page of the survey.
Please find the link here - https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TamesideEarlyHelpStrategy

Children & Family weight management support
As we all know the effects of COVID 19 and frequent lockdowns has meant that we have spent a significant amount of the last few years being isolated indoors. As such, we have seen a significant rise in our Tameside children and young people suffering from increased weight gain, leading to obesity.
FUEL 4 FUN PLUS
This is a weight management intervention, which supports, promotes and empowers families to implement healthy lifestyle changes. A multi-agency partnership between Tameside Early Help, Children’s Nutrition Team and Active Tameside aims at supporting children and young people that are overweight and/or obese.
There are three levels of support available:
Green, Amber and
Red. Each come with a different level of intervention.
Do you know any children and young people who may benefit from this support? If so, please contact myself and I will be happy to discuss the packages of support on offer.
