If you’ve ever been to St James Centre Family Hub in North Birkenhead, you’ll know it’s no ordinary building. It’s a lively, welcoming space at the heart of the community – a place where people of all ages come together to chat, learn, play, and support one another.
An inspection by OFSTED and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) notes that “things are changing for the better”, but Wirral’s Area SEND Partnership has “considerable work remaining” to ensure a consistently positive experience for children and young people with SEND.

Wirral is leading on the introduction of a new neurodiversity profiling tool for Cheshire and Merseyside. The pilot will help the borough’s neurodiverse children.
Parenting can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Across Wirral parents are supporting each other through the Being a Parent course - a free, practical, and supportive programme designed for parents and carers of children aged 2–11 years.
