Essex County Council awarded a contract to The Children's Society for the Family Innovation Fund (2023-2026): Risky Behaviours, valued at £480,000.

The grant supports early intervention services delivered in partnership with the voluntary and community sector, focusing on children and young people showing early signs of risky behaviours through small group programmes in schools and youth settings.

These brief, light-touch interventions aim to complement existing services and enable children, young people, parents, and carers to draw on their own resources and resilience.
