Cumberland Council: Families set to benefit from first Family Hub
Cumberland Council is set to open the doors of its first Family Hub this Spring, with families in and around Whitehaven to benefit from the new service.
Family Hubs are a Department for Education funded initiative that aims to bring together a range of services into a single, accessible site – making it easier for families to get the support they need.
Part of the council’s ambitious Family Wellbeing transformation programme, the Hub will cater for families, children and young people aged 0-19 years – and up to the age of 25 for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

Start for Life website
Start 4 Life
Do you know that there is a Start for Life website [
] which is a great resource for families with children in the First 1001 days, from conception until the age of two, and beyond?
Parents and carers can sign up to individual emails from pregnancy onwards which provide NHS trusted advice and support, tailored to their stage of pregnancy or baby’s age.
This month, a new campaign will launch called Start for Life ‘If they could tell you’. The campaign will promote the importance and benefits of strong parent infant relationships. The first years of a baby's life, from pregnancy and the first two years, are so important for their healthy development and this campaign will highlight the importance of building a strong connection during this time which helps them develop into happy and healthy children, able to manage their emotions, develop confidence and learn new things.
Elements of breastfeeding and introducing solid foods will also be woven in to the ‘If they could tell you’ campaign.

The early years sector predominantly consists of female professionals, with approximately 96% of the workforce being women. As Early Years Providers across Cumberland, you play a vital role in providing care and equal opportunities to support children’s development – this includes supporting children to challenge gender stereotypes and making sure that none of their choices and aspirations are limited by gender.
