Family hubs
There are three main family hubs, formerly known as Sure Start children centres, located in Greater Eston (Ormesby), East Cleveland (Saltburn) and Redcar.
These family hubs provide the following council services:
- Family hub support staff (previously children's centre staff)
- Health Visitors
- School Nurses
- Intervention teams
The Family Hub service provides support around a mixture of referrals for early years parenting support and child social, emotional, communication, language and physical development. They also supports the improvement of the home learning environment.
Family hubs also deliver the HENRY programme, supporting the reduction of childhood obesity, along with Starting Solids, HENRY weaning support.

Youth Service
The Redcar and Cleveland Early Help Youth and Community Service is staffed by a professional team of full and part-time youth workers who run our universal youth clubs across the borough and develop trusting and caring relationships with young people.
The Youth Service delivers positive activities to young people across the borough, supporting them to overcome difficult issues, problems or barriers, giving them time and a safe place to turn, supporting their positive progress.
The youth service continues to provide a co-ordinated and effective response to meet the needs of young people when required.

Children and Families Intervention Team
We have 18 ‘Child & Family Intervention Workers’ based within our family hubs. They support families with a complex range of needs.
They complete Early Help Assessments and follow the Team Around the Family process, working with the family and their support network to develop plans to help them improve the children’s welfare. They also work directly with individual children, young people and families to capture their voice and help them work through their issues.
Formerly staff in this team were known as Keyworkers and Targeted Intervention Officers.
