Family centres

What are family centres?

  

Family centres provide assessment and support for families and children in need. The staff in family centres are trained to provide: 

  • assessments of the needs of children and their families;
  • working in groups with children and adults;
  • direct work with children;
  • working with adults to develop their relationships with children; and
  • developing parenting skills.

Cumbria County Council provide Family Centers as part of their Children's Services.
