<p>Family Hubs are a one stop shop for families to make it easier for them to get
the help they need. The government would like to see Family Hubs across the country.
The department has selected 75 local authorities based on levels of disadvantage to
target the areas with the highest levels of deprivation and disproportionately poor
health and educational outcomes. It is crucial that the department focuses on delivering
fairly in these 75 local authorities already committed to and building the evidence
base. The department has appointed Ecorys, Sheffield Hallam University and Ipsos to
assess the family hubs aspect of the ‘Family Hubs and Start for Life’ programme. The
newly commissioned evaluation will explore how the programme is being implemented
across local authorities, where improvements can be made, and how it offers value-for-money.
The department expects to publish the findings of the evaluation in late 2025.</p><p>
