Birmingham Safeguarding Children Partnership

The ‘Right Help, Right Time’ (RHRT) guidance is essential for everyone who works with children, young people, and their families in Birmingham.

It advises what support is available whatever their needs are and is our collective framework and practice guide on how all individuals, agencies, partners and practitioners work together in Birmingham.

• Download the RHRT guidance
• Practitioners working with children with disabilities should also read the following guidance alongside RHRT: How we assess the needs of, and deliver support to, disabled children and their families living in Birmingham (including eligibility criteria)
• We will be launching a new RHRT e-learning in early Spring 2025.

Key forms you need to complete to access support

Included within the guidance are links to the ‘Family Connect Form’ and the ‘Request for Support’ forms. For those families with Universal Plus Needs or Additional Needs and requiring Early Help Targeted Support, you need to complete the ‘Family Connect Form’. For those families with Complex and Significant Needs you need to complete the ‘Request for Support Form’.

To access the forms and guidance on how to complete them, visit the Birmingham Children’s Trust website.
