Worcestershire Early Help Partnership want to hear from Parents, carers, children and young people in Wychavon and Redditch on what help, support and services they need and how they prefer to access this.
The survey will help influence and inform how partner agencies deliver help and support to families in their community, bringing together the creation of Family Hubs.
In Worcestershire, we currently deliver help and support to families in many different ways, face to face, through clinics at libraries, children’s centres, youth centres and schools, virtually or over the phone.
Family Hubs focus on bringing services together and changing the way family help and support is delivered locally.
The survey will better enable us to provide joined-up help, support and services to children, young people, parents and carers from pregnancy through to the age of 19 years old or 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
Councillor Andy Roberts, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Children and Families at Worcestershire County Council, said: “Raising families in the midst of other challenges is far from easy. It is essential we ensure we are providing the right services for families and young people, both now and in the future. We need people who use these services to tell us what they like, what we could do better and what they would like to see delivered, not just for their families but for future generations too. If you live in Redditch or Wychavon, please do take five minutes to complete a survey and influence the direction we take.”
Anyone who completes the Family Hub Consultation will have the opportunity to enter a free prize draw to win one of four £50 supermarket shopping vouchers.
The surveys are anonymous, confidential and open to everyone living in Wychavon or Redditch and can be found on in the County Council website.
The Family Hub Consultation closes at midnight on Sunday 30 April 2023.
