Possible questions
- What is inhibiting collaboration around the needs of vulnerable children and families at the local level?
- What is preventing national government and local services from investing in early family help, and how can this be overcome?
- What role should Family Hubs play in facilitating the integration of services and early intervention support as part of a national strategy on vulnerable children?
In our second panel with local councils and the voluntary sector, the Committee will be asking:
- Do you agree with the findings of the Leadsom review that Family Hubs should be at the centre of an integrated Government strategy on vulnerable children?
- Have you been able to protect early intervention funding in your area and, if so, how?
- How do you work with the local voluntary sector to design and deliver services to vulnerable children and families?
