Family Hub
Wakefield Families Together
Wakefield Families Together brings services together, so that it’s easier for you to find and
access the support you need, at the earliest opportunity.
We want children, young people, and families to tell us they are happy, healthy, and safe.
Wakefield Families Together are about working on your behalf so that if you have a concern
about your child or family member, you only need to have one conversation with us, and we
can direct you to the right support. You can access this support through your child’s school,
family hub, or in the local community.
To help us localise how we work with families across the Wakefield district, we have grouped
our teams and partner organisations into six community ‘cluster’ areas, with nine family
hubs. You can find your local Family Hub on the Wakefield Families Together website here:

Everyone needs help and support at some point in their life. So, when you do and find it hard
to deal with a difficult situation, or have worries around family relationships, behaviour,
school attendance, emotional and mental health, domestic abuse, parental conflict, housing
issues, or employment and debt problems, Family Hubs can help direct to the right people
and services.
Sometimes the concerns you have may need a group of professionals to come together to
build a package of support with you and other family members so that we have the right
expertise to help the whole family. Find out more about the Team Around the School model
