Social services Young people who are planning on or who have become parents

We want to be there for you when you need us to ensure you have the best start to pregnancy and parenting. It is an exciting time and a wonderful milestone to reach.  

All Manchester's Family Hubs and Sure Start Children’s Centres have dedicated Care Leaver Champions who have specialist training in supporting care leavers as parents in the community. You don’t need a Personal Adviser to access this support however we are here and on hand to introduce you to services that are there for you.  

Sure Start Children Centres are places where children under 5 and their families can access a wide range of support services and information e.g. early education, childcare, health, and family support. There are also Family Outreach Workers that can support families who need additional support and understand care leavers can need addition support, especially if you are a first time parent.  

Family Hubs support young people in the city from birth to 18 years (25 years if you have additional support needs) and as so is a great source of help and advice as you start your own family.  

As a corporate family,  we want you to feel confident and supported when becoming a parent and understand it can be an exciting and also a worrying time for all young people. We are here to make sure you have a support network around you and access to the information you need to make decisions as a new parent.  

There may be additional financial support you are entitled or eligible for so please speak to your Personal Adviser or the Community Hub about this.
