Sutton's Children's Centre Consultation

Overview

The council are consulting with all residents on the future provision Children’s Centres and the services they provide. The council knows that there are a number of different ways to deliver Children's Centre services, so it is consulting on a range of options.

The reductions in funding to the council from central government mean that Sutton Council will have to save a further £40 million by 2020. The council believes that this cannot be done without looking at other ways to deliver its services, including Children's Centres.  Children’s Centres currently cost £1.3m to run each year.   The council wants to work with parents, families, and other residents to look at how it might change the ways that the council and other partners such as health services and schools, deliver support to children and families through Children's Centres.

The consultation should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. Responses to the questionnaire are anonymous and will not be passed on to third parties.
