Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of family hubs on early (a) intervention and (b) support for families and children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

In November 2023, the government published the ‘Evaluation of family hubs’ report, which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-family-hubs. Five local authorities were involved in the project with all research activities delivered between January 2022 and January 2023. The evaluation paints a positive overall picture regarding outcomes.
