Bristol will have a new Best Start in Life Plan from 1st April 2026. This plan is about making sure every baby, child, and family gets the right support from pregnancy to age five. Family Hubs, midwives, health visitors, speech and language teams, nurseries, schools, libraries and community groups will all work more closely together so families can find information and help more easily.
We want to hear from you so we can shape this plan together. Our early idea for our shared vision is Partners taking steps together so families belong and thrive.
We would love to know what this vision means to you, and what you think should be most important in the plan. Please find the survey here.
This survey should take 2–3 minutes. It would be great if you could respond by 5 pm on 17th February!
Please email family.hubs@bristol.gov.uk if you are interested in any future engagement sessions about the Best Start in Life.
