Children’s Services in Suffolk

As part of Suffolk County Council’s continued drive to ensure children's services meet the needs of the Suffolk population, Suffolk County Council are inviting service users, including future users, and stakeholders to share their views on the current Healthy Child Service and Family Hubs (0-5 services).

Responses will help the Council understand what is important to users and help guide its approach and thinking for the future.

Four questionnaires are available on the County Council website at Children's health and children's centre services - Suffolk County Council (from 1 October 2024) covering:

Healthy Child services, also known as the 0-19 service and has 3 parts

1. School nursing - supports children aged 5-19 years old (up to 25 years for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and their families.

1. Family Nurse Partnership - a home visiting service for first time mums, aged 21 years and under, who live in Suffolk.

Family hubs (0-5 services)

1. Family hubs (0-5 services) - locations used by our 0-5 Health and Children Centre Teams to deliver activities and information to children and their families.

The closing date for user feedback is 29 November 2024.

A Children and Young People Profile, https://www.suffolk.gov.uk/asset-library/cyp-profile.pdf, was completed in September 2024 setting out the latest statistical trends in Suffolk.
