The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many Sure Start centres have closed in Halifax constituency since May 2010; and the (a) name and (b) postcode of each centre.

Answered by Janet Daby

Data on children’s centres is supplied by local authorities via the department’s Get Information about Schools (GIAS) database portal. This portal can be found here: https://www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/.

Based on information supplied by Calderdale local authority, no centres have closed in Halifax constituency since May 2010. The list of children’s centres closed since May 2010 is based on information supplied by Calderdale local authority as of 18 July 2024. These figures could change again in future since local authorities may update the database at any time.
