Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission are to carry out a joint review of support services for parents from conception to the age of two that are delivered through family hubs.
Last April the Government named the 75 local authorities that are taking part in the Start for Life and Family Hub programme. The programme is backed by £300m in funding up to 2025.
Earlier this year, 14 trailblazer hubs were chosen to receive extra funding to 'lead the way to improve services for families' and help the 'wider rollout' of the programme, which is already underway in some areas.
Family hubs provide services for families for children up to the age of 19, and up to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
