What is the timeline for the Families First Partnership Programme (FFPP)?

These changes are happening over the next two years.

Families will start to notice:

  • One main person helping them instead of lots of different people
  • More support in their local area, like at Family Hubs
  • More chances to talk and make decisions as a family
  • A team of people working together to help them feel safe and supported
