Family Hub Network Model in North Yorkshire
Developing a Family Hubs Model in North Yorkshire aims to provide integrated early help and support for families with children aged 0-19 through a network of accessible locations offering a range of services. Family Hubs serve as a central access point for families, connecting them to needed support services such as health, education, and community resources. The model emphasizes three key principles: Access, Child & Family Relationships, and Connections, promoting a family-friendly culture that is inclusive and supportive across all age groups.

Developing a Family Hubs Model in North Yorkshire.
Will Quince - Minister for Children and Families At their simplest, a family hub is where families with children of all ages know they can get help and support. They may go to a building, or they may access that help online or maybe a mix of the two. The exact service offer will vary from place to place, as it should, reflecting the needs of the local population, but will have a great Start for Life offer for parents, carers and babies at its core. And it is not just help from the local authority that should be available through a hub. The hub should connect families with services and support from others, in a joined up way whether that is links to more targeted health services, links with schools and education settings, support from charity or community groups, or even other parents. Josh MacAlister (Led independent review of Social Care) Community is the first line of defence but we do not utilise its full potential to help families. OFFICIAL - SENSITIVE
Family Hub Network Model Family Hubs ensure families with children and young people aged 0-19 can access integrated early help to overcome difficulties and build stronger relationships. Family Hubs are networks of people and places working together to reach and support families who need help. They come in all shapes and sizes: libraries, faith buildings, schools, early years settings, community halls. Family Hubs enable every area to make the best use of their buildings and sites that are available. It s important that families know where to go and get help, and that staff and volunteers are trained to respond sensitively and effectively to families enquiries and have extensive knowledge of the other people and places within the network. A Family Hub can signposts families to services co-located within the same building but is equally integrated with services provided at other delivery sites ( spokes of the hub). OFFICIAL - SENSITIVE

How do you see your area of the service within the Family Hub Network model? How will you ensure that the children, young people and their families you work with are engaged in the co-production of the Family Hub Network model? How do we use opportunities arising from the Healthy Child Partnership agreement and the Local Government Review to work with district councils, primary care, education and the voluntary and community sectors? What model for Family Hub Networks would work best in North Yorkshire? OFFICIAL - SENSITIVE
