The Early Intervention Service (EIS)


The EIS is part of the Island’s preventative strategy to discourage young people (between 8 and 18 yrs) from getting involved in offending or anti-social behaviour. It seeks to contribute to the Isle of Wight Children and Young People’s Plan by helping those at risk of such behaviour to improve their well-being and achievement.

Referral of a young person (YP) can be by anybody, but must be with their consent and that of their carers. A panel of professionals, from agencies concerned with young people, meets to consider each application. If approved an EIS case-worker is assigned to the YP and an action plan is agreed; the intervention can last for up to six months.

The EIS on the Island was recognised on 2007 as a national model of best practice in its field. It can be reached on tel: 821000 ext 2180.
