Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of Family Hubs.
We welcome the development of family hubs. We know that many areas are already moving towards this model of support for children and families.
However, it is up to local councils to decide how to organise and commission services in their areas. Local councils are best placed to understand local needs and how best to meet them, and they should be the ones to determine the effectiveness of their services to children and families.
