Details
In autumn 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) awarded £12 million in family hubs transformation funding to 13 local authorities in England to open family hubs.
DfE commissioned Ecorys UK to carry out a mixed-method, process-only evaluation of the fund. This was done in partnership with:
- Starks Consulting
- Clarissa White Research
- Research in Practice
- Professor Jane Barlow at the University of Oxford
The overarching aim was to develop the evidence base for family hubs, with a specific emphasis on how local authorities that did not have a family hub model could best manage the transition towards one.
