FAMILY HUBS - HARTLEPOOL |
A family hub is a system-wide model of providing high-quality, joined-up, whole-family support services. Hubs deliver these services from conception, through a child’s early years until they reach the age of 19 (or 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities).
Family hubs aim to make a positive difference to parents, carers and their children by providing a mix of physical and virtual spaces, as well as outreach, where families can easily access non-judgmental support for the challenges they may be facing. Family Hubs will provide a universal ‘front door’ to families, offering a ‘one-stop shop’ of family support services across their social care, education, mental health and physical health needs, with a comprehensive Start for Life offer for parents and babies at its core.
