Council puts families first

A new family help programme is being launched in Stoke-on-Trent, which aims to help families find the support they need.

Families in the city are set to benefit from the local delivery of the government's Families First Partnership.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council says the new programme is designed to make support "simpler, earlier and more effective" by placing families with one Family Help Lead Practitioner who will act as a single point of contact.
