The Open Family Services Directory delivered by Open Family Services in partnership with local authority Family Information Services:
- gathers childcare and families services information across all local authorities in England;
- combines this information with details of national services;
- makes it available to parents and practitioners through a variety of channels including Family Information Services, Open Family Services Directory, DirectGov and other authorised third and private sector partners who reach these audiences.
The Open Family Services Directory vocabulary provides a:
- navigation structure suitable for web sites displaying information about services and facilities which may be of benefit to parents, prospective parents, children or young people;
- subject vocabulary against which information can be tagged to improve searches by a central "aggregator" and local search engines using the information;
The Open Family Services Directory only covers services and facilities, not publications. The target audience is parents and families.
The list is available in a variety of formats, including its native ZThes XML format from the "Formats" tab.
Extra Vocabularies
The Open Family Services Directory describes services and facilities. It draws on extra vocabularies or controlled lists maintained by the esd-toolkit and elsewhere. They are available in their native Zthes XML format: accreditation, area covered, facility, language spoken, channel, referral criteria, role, quality assurance levels and provision of positive activities.

If you would like to know more about the Open Family Services Directory (formerly Family Information Directory) pervice or want help or support in adopting these vocabularies, please contact Lesley@vantaggio-learn.com or phone 01491 651023.
