Advocacy
The Network advocates for evidence-informed policymaking and funding to enable Hubs to effectively meet the diverse needs of children and families.
Our advocacy work has focused on informing the National Early Years Strategy and providing recommendations to government on investment in Child and Family hubs in all settings. A focus of the advocacy work has been the need for investment in ‘the glue’ or hubs funding that supports the integration of services and supports to reduce fragmentation. Check out the Network's suite of resources on the 'glue'.
