Specialist centres that will bring together a raft of services for children and their families are opening across Lancashire this week – including in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble.
County Hall hopes that the key to the success of the new set-up will be the breaking down of the barriers that have sometimes existed between the different departments and organisations involved in providing that support.Amongst the key partners in the new hubs will be the NHS and health visitors who, in delivering their universal services from the facilities, can also provide a route through to other more tailored help for those that may benefit from it.
Katherine added: “This is an evolution for us in the sense that it’s building on the strengths of the services that we have in Lancashire…[and] knitting things together more intrinsically - so that services become more visible to the families that need them. “If you come to a family hub for your antenatal care, about to be a first parent, you build a relationship with that place - and you can access the wider range of services that are offered there as your child develops.
