What are Family Support Hubs?

‘Family support hubs support access to early intervention family support services for families and children/young persons aged up to 18 years’

Note: If you want to advise us of any changes to service provision  or have particular needs you want to source please contact bronwyn.campbell@hscni.net and we will try to connect you with the appropriate information.

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.

If you would like a service to be included in the next edition of the Family Support Hub newsletter please send details to: cypsp@hscni.net
