Families in Westmorland and Furness (and across the UK) are being invited to sign up for a new service to help parents, carers and children build stronger relationships, improve emotional well-being and navigate the challenges of family life.
Work has now completed on a significant refurbishment project at one of Westmorland and Furness Council’s family centres, marking the first phase of a wider improvement project for the site.
Westmorland and Furness Council have launched a new Family Help website, bringing together advice, guidance, and local services to ensure families can find the right support at the right time.
Westmorland and Furness Council have launched a new early‑years resource aimed at helping families enjoy simple, meaningful activities that support children’s development. The ‘50 Things to Do Before You’re 5’ sheet brings together a range of free or low‑cost ideas designed to encourage play, exploration, and quality family time.
We are gathering experiences of people who are Kinship Carers, or of young people who have experienced kinship care, so we can work together to shape and improve the future for kinship carers.
On Monday 12 January Ofsted published a new report highlighting the ongoing excellent improvement in Westmorland and Furness Council's Children Services.
