A New Approach to Parenting Support: The Family Hubs Initiative
July 6, 2025 - 16:39
The education secretary has unveiled a groundbreaking £500 million initiative aimed at establishing a network of ‘family hubs’ across the country. This program draws inspiration from New Labour’s successful Sure Start centres, which provided crucial support to parents and children in their early years.
Recognizing the challenges that modern parenting presents, the initiative seeks to create accessible resources for families, ensuring that children receive the best possible start in life. These family hubs will offer a range of services, including parenting classes, childcare support, and health services, all designed to foster a nurturing environment for young children.
The education secretary, reflecting on her own experiences as a new mother, emphasizes the importance of community support in navigating the complexities of parenting. By investing in these family hubs, the government aims to empower parents and promote child development, ultimately contributing to stronger families and healthier future generations.
