Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his Department spent the funding allocated in the March 2020 Budget for family hubs on.
There are already many family hubs across the country up and running. We want to ensure that innovations such as family hubs are recognised and shared, and successful approaches can spread. Local areas are using their existing funding pots to move to a family hub model.
The 2020 Budget allocated £2.5 million for research and developing best practice around the integration of services for families, including family hubs. We will be launching the procurement process for this work shortly.
