RESOLVED:

 

KEY DECISION

 

That the Executive:

 

a)    Agreed that Council adopts a Family Hubs model for North Northamptonshire

 

b)    Noted that the Family Hubs model will be based upon local need and be developed in co-production with children, parents, carers and the wider community partnership.

 

c)    Delegated authority to the Executive Member for Children, Families, Education and Skills in consultation with the Executive Director of Children’s Services to establish a Partnership Board to oversee the development of the Family Hubs model

 

 

Reasons for Recommendation: The development of a Family Hub Model will help to deliver the Council’s strategic ambitions. Early intervention can improve children’s wellbeing, educational attainment and life chances, reduce family poverty, improve mental health and reduce negative outcomes such as unemployment which carry significant cost to the public purse.

 

Alternative Options Considered: That we do nothing and do not develop Family Hubs in NNC. This is not recommended because NNC would lose the opportunity to enhance and co-ordinate services for families. Furthermore, they would lose the opportunity to attract additional investment into the local area.
