Croydon Council is expanding family support and setting early childhood development targets with funding from the Department for Health and Social Care.
Croydon Council is expanding its family support services and setting ambitious targets for early childhood development, partly funded by the Department for Health and Social Care. The Health and Wellbeing Board noted the transition to a 0-19 Family Hubs model in March 2026, aiming for a more comprehensive service across the borough.
This expansion involves transforming existing Children's Centres into Family Hubs, supported by £6.2 million in grant funding from the Department for Education and the Department for Health and Social Care until March 2029. Croydon aims for 78.3% of children to achieve a 'Good Level of Development' by 2028.
The Department for Health and Social Care is a UK government department responsible for health and social care policy in England. No further discussions or decisions regarding this topic are currently scheduled at the councils.
