Aligning Values: How Hamptons Resourcing Supports the Families First for Children Pathfinder Programme

Hamptons Resourcing is proud to support the newly launched Families First for Children (FFC) Pathfinder programme, led by the Department for Education.

Following the government’s response to the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, ‘Stable Homes, Built on Love’, the FFC Pathfinder is already being implemented across several local authorities, including Warwickshire, Dorset, Lewisham, Lincolnshire, Luton, Redbridge, Walsall, Warrington, The Wirral, and Wolverhampton. A full national rollout is expected between 2025 and 2027.

This initiative aims to transform children’s social care by emphasizing early support and reducing crisis interventions, aligning with Hamptons’ purpose, mission, and values.

By aligning our recruitment expertise with the objectives of the FFC Pathfinder, we are committed to supporting local authorities in implementing these vital reforms.

We invite local authorities to explore how Hamptons Resourcing can assist in fulfilling their staffing needs for the FFC Pathfinder. Together, we can work towards a future where families receive the support they need, when they need it, leading to better outcomes for children across the country.

The FFC Pathfinder focuses on several key reforms:

• Family Help: Providing timely, effective support to families to address issues early.
• Multi-Agency Child Protection Teams (MACPT): Enhancing collaboration among professionals to ensure children’s safety and well-being.
• Family Networks: Strengthening support systems by engaging extended family members and the community.
• Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements (MASA): Establishing coordinated frameworks for safeguarding children.

As the programme expands, we are ready to support local authorities in recruiting the right talent. Our experience and commitment to ethical recruitment position us well to help implement the Families First model effectively.

Hamptons are social care specialists, continuously updating industry knowledge and market trends, making us well-placed to advise the public sector and local governments on the rollout of the FFC Pathfinder.
