As well as support for families, at Best Start Family Hub Tarner, you can access a range of council services.
You can:
- use the free self-help computers to access services online
- use the free phones to speak to a council service or a staff member
- scan documents - if you don’t have a smartphone to take a picture of the document to send to us
Our staff can provide:
- signposting to council services
- basic support in accessing council services online
- paper forms for certain transactions where you are unable to access online services, for example, Blue Badge applications
If we cannot help with your enquiry on the day, we'll offer you a call-back service. The relevant service will contact you and aim to answer your enquiry over the phone or arrange a face-to-face appointment.
