*A focused session for Family Hub leads, early help and commissioning teams*

***

Best Start Family Hubs are expanding fast, but too many still live as a single page buried deep in a council website that families struggle to find. With reach and accessibility now central to how hubs are judged, this session asks a simple question: is a page on the council site enough, or does your hub need a home of its own?

We'll be covering:

1.  **The findability problem 🔍** - why families and professionals often can't locate hub services when they need them most.
2.  **Council page vs independent site ⚖️** - the real pros, cons and costs of each approach, with no jargon.
3.  **Accessibility and inclusion ♿** - meeting WCAG 2.2 standards and reaching families who need support the most.
4.  **Branding and trust 🤝** - how a distinct, welcoming identity encourages families to engage.
5.  **Getting more from your funding 💷** - making the most of Family Hub investment through better digital reach.
6.  **What good looks like ✨** - real examples of hubs that got their web presence right.
