Family Hub Navigators
Croydon's Family Hubs, including Navigator roles, show early progress in child development, but long-term funding is questioned.
Croydon's Family Hubs Transformation Programme, which includes Family Hub Navigators, is showing early progress in supporting young families, according to a review in October 2026. The Scrutiny Children & Young People Sub-Committee heard that the programme has contributed to an increase in children achieving a Good Level of Development. However, questions remain about long-term funding and equitable access to services.
Family Hub Navigators are a role within Family Hubs, responsible for guiding families and connecting them with support services. No further meetings or discussions specifically addressing Family Hub Navigators or the broader Family Hubs Transformation Programme are currently scheduled.
