0-19 Child and Family Support Service

Family Action is delighted to be working closely with Cumbria County Council to deliver their new 0–19 Child and Family Support Service, having officially taken over provision on 1 January 2020.

We are currently in the process of mapping existing provision against the new service specifications. In the meantime, we expect existing services to continue as usual. If you have any specific questions, for instance around session times or availability, please see the new ‘What’s On‘ guides for each area below, or speak directly with your local centre manager.
