Family Hubs
Bromley and Sutton councils are developing new Family Hubs to integrate support services for families, including those with SEND.
Bromley Council's Executive approved a reform plan in September 2026 to create four locality-based Family Hubs, aiming for borough-wide implementation by April 2027. These hubs will integrate national reforms like the Best Start in Life Programme into a single framework, acting as gateways to various support services for families.
Separately, Sutton Council's People Committee agreed in March 2026 to explore proposals for a fifth Family Hub, specifically dedicated to supporting families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This initiative is part of Sutton's commitment to expanding its Family Hubs network and improving outcomes for children.
Family Hubs are centres that provide a range of integrated services and support for families, including early years education, health, and social care, often from conception up to age 19, or 25 for those with SEND.
