Early Help Module (EHM)

The Early Help Module (EHM) is the recording system used by Coventry Children’s Services and its partners to record all of the early help work that takes place in the city.

The system is hosted by Coventry City Council but is used by any agency that works directly with children, young people and families.

Any service that provides support to a child, young person or family that is beyond their universal offer is classed as early help.

Having a shared system is recognised as being the most effective way to share information securely and avoid agencies recording in isolation.

We have included the Step by Step Guide on how to use EHM and a series of instructional videos to accompany the guide.

To gain access to EHM you are required to attend a 2 hour training session. The sessions are free to access and are delivered via Microsoft Teams.

For a list of the training dates or if you have any questions relating to EHM, please send an email to: steven.turner@coventry.gov.uk
