New Support for Families, Children and Young People in Wiltshire
Family hubs are launching in Wiltshire this April, meaning that families, children and young people will be able to access support both face to face and online under the new model from 2nd April.
The new model will give greater local community support and guidance for families and young people aged from 0 to 19, extending to 25 years for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Wiltshire Council has awarded the contract to Spurgeons to provide new family hubs in communities throughout the county.
There will be three main hubs operating at Five Rivers in Salisbury, Monkton Park in Chippenham and County Hall in Trowbridge,. Alongside this, there will be regular family hub support available at advertised times at "navigator locations" in community venues around the county, including libraries and leisure centres.
There will also be a digital platform that can be accessed on phones, tablets or computers, offering information, support, and courses to give children, young people and families the help and guidance they need to thrive.
Each hub will have its own team of navigators. They will have a visible presence in the community to ensure they are on hand to offer help to families that need it, and to signpost and create links to other agencies, such as local schools and early years providers.
There will be an online webinar on 29th April at 6pm about family hubs so people can ask questions and find out more about the face to face and online offer. People can join the webinar using this link.
