Family Hubs launch to give children the Best Start in Life
Family Hubs are to replace Children’s Centres in providing families with advice and support from pregnancy to childcare, through to starting school and beyond. The Hubs will deliver joined-up services across health, family services, education, childcare, schools and the voluntary and community sector. They will help families to receive faster, earlier support - focusing on early intervention.
The Hubs will offer support through midwifery, health visiting, family support, infant feeding, antenatal education, postnatal support, speech and language, play, attachment and bonding. A SEND practitioner will also be dedicated to the hubs. Along with the Hubs, there will also be community-based family help to reach families in rural areas of the East Riding.
