About

Worcestershire County Council is seeking a supplier to expand and strengthen its Family Hubs offer to align with the national Best Start Family Hubs and Healthy Babies programme running from April 2026 to March 2029. The work will build on learning from Sure Start, Family Hubs and Start for Life to bring together health, education, early years, parenting and community support so families can access help earlier, more easily and in trusted local places. The programme emphasizes early identification, prevention and reducing inequalities, prioritises support during pregnancy and the early years, and maintains a universal model open to families from conception to age 19, or up to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

Insight

This could be ideal for organisations experienced in delivering integrated health, education, early years and parenting services and in partnership working with local systems. Key considerations include meeting national expectations for improved access, outreach, partnership working, early identification and reducing inequalities, and aligning existing local Family Hubs to the updated guidance while prioritising support for pregnancy and the early years.
