The end of summer marks a significant moment for families – the return to school. It’s a time of change, excitement, and sometimes anxiety. This transition can be incredibly challenging for parents and children alike. However, a digital Family Hub solution can help support parents and their children where they need it most. In this blog, we’ll explore how utilising your digital family hubs for back to school can be invaluable for families in your local area.
Family Hubs in the UK, both physical and digital, provide essential support for families with children aged 0 to 19 (or up to 25 for those with special educational needs). The UK government’s substantial funding for 75 councils strengthens their ability to offer personalised support, aligning to bolster local well-being networks.
Digital Family Hubs support families digitally, offering accessible services and information online. UK councils receive guidelines for creating effective digital solutions as part of the funding, promoting collaboration and informed decision-making for family well-being.
Beebot AI’s Family Hubs digital solution is a comprehensive resource hub, offering invaluable insights and expert guidance in these critical areas.
We provide UK councils with an innovative platform to support families in their local area and provide them with indispensable tools, information, and support to ensure a seamless and successful back to school transition. This top-tier digital experience is universally accessible on any device, all through a single, user-friendly portal. It compiles national, local content and existing resources into an easily navigable application, streamlining 24/7 self-service support. Aiding families in swiftly locating the specific support they require, ensuring they can confidently navigate and tackle the unique challenges that arise during the back to school season.
Back to School Resources: Create a dedicated back to school section on your Digital Family Hub platform. This section can provide a wealth of back to school resources, such as helpful tips for parents, comprehensive student guides, and up-to-date school event information. Our Family Hubs platform hosts an array of media types, from PDFs to videos, photos to websites – however you choose to display your content to families is entirely customisable. Our platform also includes support for BBC Bitesize and Tiny Happy People within the app, enabling families and their children to access these educational websites that align with their age-based learning curriculum.
Interactive Features to Enhance Engagement: Take engagement to the next level by incorporating interactive tools on your Family Hub platform. Consider hosting webinars, forums, and engaging quizzes to involve families in the back to school process actively. These interactive features foster community and participation, making the transition smoother. Moreover, our platform also comes with a built-in, interactive survey tool so families can provide feedback directly to your council. Your council can then utilise this feedback to make informed strategic decisions going forward.
Personalisation and Tailoring Support: Harness the potential of AI to provide personalised back to school support. AI can tailor content to match the unique requirements of each family. Parents can choose to register their child’s age, enabling them to receive targeted information based on their child’s age and readiness for school. Beebot AI’s Family Hubs solution also offers the functionality of “automated care pathways,” allowing families to subscribe to an automated ongoing care program featuring content and advice tailored to their specific health needs. We collaborate closely with your council to establish a content timeline, ensuring that information is delivered at specific intervals throughout your journey.
Access to SEND: We offer seamless integration with other services, including the SEND Local Offer. For families, especially those with children requiring Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) support, having immediate access to pertinent information is invaluable during this critical period. By making SEND resources easily accessible on these platforms, councils empower parents and caregivers to find the specific guidance they need for a smooth transition back to school. Furthermore, applying AI-driven personalisation ensures that families receive information tailored to their unique circumstances, offering a more individualised experience.
As summer ends, the back to school season offers a fresh start for students and parents. By harnessing the power of a digital Family Hub solution, your council can provide the support families in your local area need to navigate this transition successfully.
Offer a dynamic and holistic approach to back-to-school support, enhancing engagement, building community, and ensuring no family is left behind.
