Families First Partnership Programme - Co-Design Event

We are pleased to invite you to a co-design event as part of the Families First Partnership Programme (FFPP) in Sheffield.

This initiative aims to strengthen support for families in our community by fostering collaboration, sharing resources, and exploring innovative approaches. The upcoming session will bring together partners from across the system to co-design the future of Family Help, Multi-Agency Child Protection, and Family Networks.

What to Expect on the Day

The session will open with a brief overview of the FFPP and its reform journey, including how it aligns with wider local and national strategic developments. You’ll then take part in a series of interactive co-design activities, each led by our workstream leads, where we’ll collaboratively shape practical approaches to each area of development. These activities are designed to spark discussion, generate ideas, and build consensus around what effective support for families should look like in practice.

Throughout the event, there will be opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the partnership, share insights, and build shared ownership of the transformation ahead.
