National Conference: Co-Producing Accessible and Inclusive Family Hubs
Thursday 7th July 2022
About this online conference
Access is one of the key principles underpinning family hubs. The success of family hubs in improving outcomes for families and children hinges on their ability to reach those that could benefit from support but may not currently be receiving it. The second National Centre for Family Hubs conference will explore evidence from research, the experiences of families and young people, and best practice from local areas and what we can learn about developing accessible and inclusive family hubs. This will be considered in the context of the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain groups, particularly those experiencing social and economic disadvantage and exclusion.
Accessible and inclusive family hub design requires meaningful co-production that priorities the inclusion of those whose views and ideas have not previously been heard or those for whom services are not easily accessible. Delivery of services considers the selection and design of family hub spaces, a blended offer that includes virtual/digital delivery and outreach, and the participation of families and young people in the delivery of services. Behaviours and relationships that support collaboration are nurtured and modelled across the family services system, underpinned by strong leadership and a well-supported workforce.
