Family Hubs are a place-based way of joining up locally in the planning and delivery of family services. They bring services together to improve access, improve the connections between families, professionals, services, and providers, and put relationships at the heart of family support. Family hubs offer support to families from conception and two, and to those with children of all ages, which is 0-19 or up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with a great Start for Life offer at their core. The local authority is committed to the Family Hubs Start for Life programme objectives and vision (DfE August 2022).

Their role is central in bringing together different services and agencies collectively to look at what family support is needed and working together to deliver the required support in a coordinated way.
