Pathway to Change is a planning tool to help professionals have conversations with families, working with them to identify strengths first and then the needs of the children and young people to enable the family to overcome any challenges they are facing.  

The new Pathway to Change replaces the Early Help Single Assessment (EHSA) process and has been closely scrutinised, tested and amended by subject matter experts and partners who have attended locality roadshows and the headteachers' conference.

Completing a Pathway to Change Plan should involve restorative conversations with a family, working with them and making decisions together. A suite of guidance documents providing details on how to transition from the EHSA and to facilitate the new Pathway to Change Plan are now available on Warwickshire's Early Help webpages. We've included this helpful Transition Guide below (click on the image for a PDF version). 

From Friday 14 February, we will no longer be accepting any old EHSAs and Family Support Meeting Minutes. 

For further information about any of these changes, you can contact your local Targeted Support Officer - find the point of contact for your area on the website.

Alternatively, queries can be sent to Stacey Gill, Early Help Operations Manager - staceygill@warwickshire.gov.uk
