What is a Family Hub?
The government’s Family Hubs and Start for Life programme aims to “join up and enhance services delivered through transformed family hubs in local authority areas, ensuring all parents and carers can access the support they need when they need it”. As recommended in the government’s ‘The best start for life’ report, the focus of Family Hubs is on parents of 0-2 year-olds (or the first 1001 days, which includes pregnancy). However, Family Hubs are also intended to support families of children/young people up to age 19 (and 25 with special educational needs or a disability). Family Hubs are intended to be ‘one-stop shops’ for a range of face-to-face support and information. Services provided by a Family Hub could include support for home learning; parenting classes; midwifery; health visiting; infant feeding advice; or perinatal mental health support. Meanwhile Family Hubs are also intended to help families access other support services (not directly provided through the Hub), such as support for people’s physical and mental health; housing and debt advice; youth services; domestic abuse support; and other services run by charities
What services are based at Kingswood’s Family Hub?
Currently, we have partnerships with local services including Cabot Learning Federation, Kingswood Town Council, Sirona Care & Health, Creative Youth Network, OTR (Off the Record), Compass, South Gloucestershire Care Leavers, the local mental health support team and school nurses.
