Family Hubs Conference: celebrating progress and forging the future

Many local authorities say Family Hubs are the most cost-effective approach to support families in babies' critical first 1001 days and throughout childhood: they help prevent family breakdown and meet challenges like the cost-of-living crisis; mental ill-health; poor school readiness and faltering school attendance.

This one-day conference in the heart of England is located for greater ease of access and timed to enable reflection on the recent budget for Family Hubs. Many local councils and their partners will share practical, up-to-date examples of great practice across a wide range of service areas and ways of working; review and celebrate progress and speak into future policy and funding decisions. Speakers will also point forward to the potential for Family Hubs to deliver priorities for a broader range of departments across Government.
