Family Hubs: Digital Technology

Asked by Maya EllisLabourDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 30 October 2025UIN 80420

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which organisations fed into the development of the Best Start digital service.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

​​The Best Start in Life Parent Hub website launched on 1 September as the department’s first step in developing the Best Start digital service. The site has been designed based on insights from extensive user research with parents and brings together content from across government under the Best Start in Life banner, aligning with the campaign launch and Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life.

​The department is ambitious for the digital service and as we move into the next stage, building new, rather than existing content, we will work with families and organisations such as local authorities, the Local Government Association, and the NHS to ensure the service fulfils parents’ needs.
