Family Hubs – Our Services

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 the Department of Health and Social Care, through the Leadsom Review and the best start for life.
