Councillor Deborah Taylor, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for children and families, has warmly welcomed today’s announcement that Leicestershire is one of 12 local authorities to be awarded nearly £1m of Government money to create a network of ‘family hubs’ for parents, carers, and families.
We are delighted to be rolling out this scheme, which we believe will help give our families the best start in life. There is a lot of information and tools out there to support parents in caring for their children and own wellbeing, but it is not always clear how, and where, to access it all.
The family hubs, whether in a building or accessed ‘digitally’, will be places where information, advice and support can be easily found in one place. The idea is to provide seamless support and the best start right from the get-go, and help parents and carers navigate parenting from conception, through the early years into the start of adulthood.
