Supporting Families First and Best Start Hubs: Delivering better outcomes through integrated safeguarding and welfare solutions As Local Authorities and partner agencies prepare for and implement the Families First programme ahead of the March 2027 deadline, the need for joined-up, data-driven approaches to safeguarding and early intervention has never been greater. Join us for an insightful webinar exploring how LIFT (Low Income Family Tracker) and MAST (Multi Agency Safeguarding Tracker) help organisations identify vulnerable families earlier, strengthen multi-agency collaboration, and deliver coordinated support that improves outcomes for children and families. During this session, we will discuss the key principles of the Families First programme and Best Start Hubs, and demonstrate how our solutions enable practitioners to: • Identify families requiring early intervention through integrated welfare and safeguarding intelligence. • Streamline Best Start referrals using data and referral workflows. • Improve multi agency collaboration by providing a single view of safeguarding concerns, interventions, and outcomes. • Track family engagement and measure the effectiveness of support across services. • Reduce duplication, improve information sharing, and ensure timely, informed decision making. • Support statutory safeguarding responsibilities while addressing the wider welfare needs that impact family wellbeing. Whether you're working in Children's Services, Early Help, Public Health, Housing, Education, or voluntary and community sector partners, this webinar will demonstrate how LIFT and MAST provide the digital infrastructure needed to support whole family working, strengthen partnership collaboration, and deliver the ambitions of the Families First programme. Who should attend? • Children's Services leaders and practitioners. • Early Help teams. • Safeguarding professionals. • Best Start Family Hubs leads. • Local Authority transformation and digital teams. • NHS, education, welfare, housing, police, and voluntary sector partners.	9/9/2026j/n/Y	10:30am BST2026-09-09T09:30:00Zg:ia T	1 hour	Register
