Family Hubs Transformation Senior Programme Manager
Croydon's Family Hubs Transformation Programme is showing early progress in supporting young families, though questions remain about funding and access.
In October 2026, Croydon's Family Hubs Transformation Programme, which a Senior Programme Manager oversees to implement family hubs, showed promising early results. A review by the Scrutiny Children & Young People Sub-Committee revealed provisional results indicating an increase in children achieving a Good Level of Development from 70.4% to 74.1%, with particular gains for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and disadvantaged children.
Despite this progress, questions remain about the long-term funding and equitable access for the Family Hubs. Councillor Andy Stranack, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, highlighted aspects of the programme during the committee's review. No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled in the supplied material.
