Family Hubs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many family hubs there are in a) urban and b) rural areas.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
At present, there are 675 Family Hubs in 88 local authorities funded by the department. Of these, based on the Office of National Statistics classification of Rural and Urban, 627 are based in urban areas and 48 are based in rural areas.
The department has set a clear ambition for 70% of hubs to be in the 30% most disadvantaged areas. From April we will be rolling out hubs nationally, meaning they will be in every local authority.
