Have your say on the development of Family Hubs
The council is changing the way that young families are supported at Children’s Centres, and is inviting those who use the services, as well as professionals and community groups, to help influence the changes.
It follows a national move, announced by the Government last year, for Children’s Centres to become Family Hubs, as part of its Start for Life Programme initiative.
Exactly which services will be integrated into a Family Hub will very much depend on the needs of local families. But the kind of services that families could access include early years services and education; Public Health Nursing and Midwifery services; activities delivered by local groups; drug, alcohol and domestic abuse support; mental health support and youth services.
The Council has launched a questionnaire and published a press release encouraging and inviting families, professionals and community groups to help shape what the new Family Hubs support network will look like in Devon.
Please could we ask for your support in responding to this questionnaire and/ or in sharing this link to your families and other professionals you are connected with to invite as many responses as possible.
The consultation is available by visiting our Have Your Say webpage.
The survey will run until 23rd March. If you would like this questionnaire in any other format or language please email: childrenscommissioningsecure-mailbox@devon.gov.uk
