Blackpool Family Hubs provide a coordinated, community-based approach to supporting children, young people, and families from conception through to adolescence. Designed to bring services together in a more accessible and joined-up way, the hubs act as a central point where professionals can collaborate, share expertise, and deliver early help more effectively. By integrating health, education, social care, and voluntary sector support, the Family Hubs aim to improve outcomes, strengthen family resilience, and ensure that the right support is available at the right time. For professionals, they offer a valuable opportunity to work in partnership, streamline referrals, and contribute to a holistic model of care that puts families at the heart of service delivery.

Blackpool Adolescent Services offer targeted, multi-agency support for young people navigating the complex challenges of adolescence. Focused on early intervention and prevention, the service works with individuals aged roughly 10–19 (and beyond where appropriate) who may be at risk of poor outcomes, including issues related to mental health, exploitation, education, or family breakdown. Bringing together professionals from across health, education, social care, youth justice, and the voluntary sector, the service promotes a coordinated and relationship-based approach. For professionals, it provides a platform for effective information sharing, joint planning, and timely interventions, ensuring that young people receive consistent, holistic support tailored to their needs during this critical stage of development.
