Details

The Family Hubs and Start for Life programme will support 75 eligible local authorities in England to improve health and education outcomes for babies, children and their families.

Family hubs bring together services for families with children aged 0 to 19 years or 25 years for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

At its core, the programme has a great Start for Life offer.

Following a competitive bidding process, 14 local authorities have been selected as programme trailblazers. Trailblazers will:

• lead the way in delivering the programme, making the fastest and most ambitious improvements to services for families
• share learning and best practice with other areas, including those not receiving programme funding
