Your Voice: Early Support and Inclusion in Portsmouth Family Hubs

Portsmouth City Council has received extra funding to improve support for babies and young children (aged 0–5) with additional or emerging needs through our Best Start Family Hubs. The funding will help us:

  • provide new inclusion support roles within Portsmouth Family Hubs*
  • identify children’s needs earlier
  • make it easier for families to understand what SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) support is available

This survey has been created in partnership with Portsmouth Parent Voice and Home‑Start Portsmouth. Together we want to hear from families about their experiences and what support they need . Your feedback will help us shape support that meets the real needs of children and families in our communities and improve services in Portsmouth. This survey is for people living in the PO1–PO6 areas. All information provided will remain confidential and will be used solely to inform service planning and decision‑making. The closing date for this survey is Friday 5th June 2026.   

* Family hubs are local, “one-stop shop” centres providing integrated support services for families, parents, carers, and young people. We have five Family hubs in Portsmouth located in Paulsgrove, Northern Parade, Buckland, Somerstown and Milton.
