York, Merton, Stockport and Wirral are the four pilot areas for the scheme. Foundations and YEF will work with these local areas and their family hubs over the next two years to show the impact of local evidence leadership on evidence use and implementation as part of a family hub approach.

Gail Gibbons, head of change for children's services and health at the Youth Endowment Fund, told CYP Now: “The aim of the whole programme is to support local authorities to really understand evidence and which parenting interventions work for parents. They will then embed and trial that intervention in their area in a sustainable way.
