Practitioners are trained and experienced in taking a ‘whole family’ approach and consider the young person’s needs within the context of the wider family dynamics. Established relationships with children’s services colleagues, health, police, third sector organisations and other stakeholders ensure that the young person is at the centre of the support being offered by the professional network.

Local Library Hubs the vision
Local Library Hubs will be community spaces for all, providing public services, support and activities based on local needs, all under one roof.
- A local accessible and inclusive space for all members of the community
- Providing a mix of services provided by 中国P站, Voluntary Community Social Enterprise organisations and wider partners housed within a library provision. In some cases where space allows services provided by other private sector organisations.
- Alongside service provision there will be social spaces available for residents to meet and connect with others, or to simply sit and relax
- There are also areas available for community led activities to be run by community organisations and individuals.
The provision will be developed in a sympathetic way in discussion with community stakeholders and service providers to ensure the space is as inclusive and accessible for as many different types of users as possible.
