A Family Support Hub is a multi-agency network of statutory, community and voluntary organisations that provide early intervention services, or work with families who need support. The network accepts referrals and uses their knowledge of local service providers to signpost families with specific needs to an appropriate service.
What do they do? The specific purpose of hubs is as follows:
- To improve access to early intervention family Support services by matching the needs of referred families to family support providers
- To improve coordination of early intervention family support services by creating a collaborative network of community, voluntary and statutory providers
- To improve awareness of early intervention family support services
- To assess the level of unmet need for early intervention family support services and inform the Trust Outcomes Group
There are currently 29 Family Support Hubs in operation covering all of Northern Ireland. Hubs coordinate existing statutory/community and voluntary services. Some hubs have attached services but this is separate from the hub function which is about coordination.
