Help us develop services for children, young people and families

Overview

We are gathering feedback on the proposal to introduce new Family Hubs in West Northamptonshire.

Background and proposal

We want every child and young person in West Northamptonshire to have the best start in life. To help with this, we're planning to offer families support that’s tailored to what they need, so children and young people can grow and thrive.

Our idea is to create Family Hubs in the area. These would be friendly places where families can easily get advice, guidance, and support all in one place. These hubs will bring together services under one roof, making it simpler to find help and get support, in person, when it’s needed.

Why we want to hear from you

We would like to hear your thoughts on how we can shape the services for children, young people, and families to make sure the new Family Hubs work well for everyone. To help us with this we would like to know where you currently go for support and share any ideas you have to help us improve. Your feedback will play a big role in making sure the hubs are in the right places and offer the right kind of help.
