Family Hub Engagement
We’re inviting families, professionals and community organisations to help shape services that support young families.
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.
In Devon that means extending the age range, from current services that deliver targeted support to 0 to 8 year-olds, to future services that provide targeted and universal support to 0 to 19 year-olds, or up to 25 year-old young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
And it would mean a wider range of services than present, including support from local community groups, working together to help young families. There are questions for Parents and Questions for Professionals and community services. The questionnaire is open until the 23rd March.
