Capacity building

The Network provides Hubs with resources and learning opportunities to help drive improvements in children’s health and wellbeing.

Capacity building activities include hosting webinars that showcase good practice and delve into issues related to Child and Family Hubs. This work also includes sharing information, evidence and resources and supporting the work of member organisations. Future activities of the Network will include support for a Community of Practice or learning and collaborative opportunities to foster an exchange of ideas and facilitate the development of peer networks.
