What is Family Hub?
Overview of Family Hub
Family Hub is an initiative from the Department of Education and Department for Health and Social Care who are working together to support families with children and young people 0-19, (up to 25 for SEND) to access the right services, in the right place, at the right time.
Derby has been identified as one of 75 local authorities who has been selected for the Family Hub Start for Life funding until March 2025.
The programme relies on the following:
- an understanding of the importance of helping early
- use of the right support packages
- flexibility and good communication
- commitment from all partners especially health
- voluntary sector and wider community support.
The vision for Derby’s Family Hub is to provide families with the integrated support they need to care for their children from conception, throughout the early years, and into the start of adulthood. This will enable parents to establish a firm foundation for their children, from which to meet their full potential in life.
