Family Hubs
The government recently announced £500 million towards families and early years services with £82 million specifically for Family Hubs demonstrating their ongoing commitment. This follows their commitment in the 2019 manifesto.
And the agenda for Family Hubs has really picked up momentum with many areas of government citing Family Hubs as a means to achieve policy objectives including Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) around parental conflict, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities [DLUHC] around delivering the Supporting Families vision of an effective early help system, and of course Andrea Leadsom MP’s review of early child health. Children’s minister Will Quince told the public services committee that it is his “ambition” for all councils move to the Family Hubs model.
Interface, being leaders in whole family working, integrated services etc. have supported many areas across the UK to design and deliver Family Hubs. Our work includes providing strategic support and challenge around leadership and governance, support with commissioning, sharing best practice across the UK and providing extensive training programs to over 12,800 practitioners.
We are a key conduit for sharing best practice across the country and have links to 90% of local authorities and partners.
