Description
After a successful bid to the Family Hub Transformation Fund Hartlepool Borough Council were awarded funding to help transition to a Family Hub model by March 2024. Family Hubs have now been in place in Hartlepool since that time and are funded to continue until 31st March 2029. They are now called Best Start Family Hubs in line with the 2026-2029 programme guide. In line with delivery expectations, Best Start Family Hub Programme will continue to:
• Provide support to parents and carers so they are able to nurture their babies and children, improving health and education outcomes for all
• Contribute to a reduction in inequalities in health and education outcomes for babies, children and families across England by ensuring that support provided is communicated to all parents and carers, including those who are underserved and/or most in need of support.
• Deliver Parent and Carer Panels as a forum where parents and carers will work together with local commissioners to co-design and evaluate services, to ensure that babies and their families are at the centre of service design and delivery
