Connect Somerset Champions

If you work with residents, working with your local Champion can help you to:

  • Be connected to your community and increase your understanding of the local early help offer delivered by Statutory Services, Education and VCFSE organisations.
  • Improve local processes such as the Team Around the School, Data Sharing and the Transform database.
  • Be more proactive and increase the volume of early help.
  • Lead a wider strategic view of local needs and a place based approach to future planning.
