Family Hubs and Early Help Services Redesign Consultation
This consultation has now closed.
We asked young people, parents, carers, wider family members and key stakeholders to have their say on proposals relating to proposed changes to our Family Hubs and Early Help Service.
The proposals aim to make services we provide to children, young people and their families more efficient while also saving £1.1 million to help balance the council’s budget in 2024/25. Please note, we were not consulting on reducing the current provision being provided.
