We have 4 Children and Family Hubs, which are positioned across Medway –
Wayfield, Chatham, Gillingham and Strood. There are also well-being centers
aligned with hubs which are used to deliver services. Each hub has a Hub
Manager, and a team of Family Solutions Practitioners who provide preventative
early intervention support with group intervention, parenting programs and / or
1:1 support to children and young people from pre-birth – 19years old and their
families, in line with the Medway Children’s Services Threshold document.
- Hubs are a central point of access in the community providing
access to NHS, SEN, Housing and Public Health Services including
midwifery, health visiting and asthma clinics, to name a few
- Our partners from the youth service also run evening sessions to cater
for young people within the area, providing a range of activities to build
peer relationships, self confidence and a sense of community
- Our rooms are also used to support family contact times, direct
work with children and families, counselling sessions, social care
meetings and other multi professional family meetings.
- The hubs also provide the community with foodbank vouchers, food
parcels, hygiene packs and care packages.
- Information regarding the Hubs can be found on the:
- Medway Council Website
- The Family Information Service
website(FIS) also contains up to date information regarding hub timetables
and other services that are available to families throughout Medway.
- Facebook is also used as a platform to communicate up
to date service information for families including the Group offer
timetable. Timetables are updated on a termly basis, these are then sent
to partner agencies such as pre-schools, nurseries, child minders, schools
and health teams to share with families they are working with.
