The principles of the Family Hub development are that we will be more accessible to families, better connected to drive progress on joining up and providing a whole family approach, and more relationship centred, building on family and community strengths.
This entails transforming our former Children's Centres, which were aimed at 0-5 year olds, into Family Hubs for 0-19 year olds (and 25 for young people with SEND), and building a network of co-located, connected, virtual and digital services.
