Tower Hamlets children's centres - all you need to know
Children’s centres in Tower Hamlets
have undergone a restructure. This means that the council has
reviewed the way in which children’s centre services are delivered
across the borough.
Despite central government cuts, the council has safe-guarded
children’s centre services throughout the borough, by reshaping the
staffing structure in children’s centres, reducing layers of
management, reducing administration and removing unnecessary
bureaucracy.
As part of the restructure, the council has also introduced a
new service delivery model for children’s centres. Children’s
centres now have a geographical focus, so staff really understand
the local needs of the community, and can ensure that vital
children and family services provided by the centres meet local
need. In each of the four paired LAPs in the borough, there are
three ‘main’ children’s centres. Each of the ‘main’ children's
centres are now a hub for their community.
The most vulnerable and hardest to reach
families and communities will be given special consideration when
planning service delivery in children’s centres, and outreach
strategies will be available to ensure that they can easily access
the excellent services that are available throughout the
borough.
Families can access services
from the main children’s centres as well as the secondary
children’s centres, schools and community venues. Just ask at your
local children’s centre for details of where they can be
found.
