A new ‘family’ member cannot backup their iPhone
A new member to my family is unable to backup their iphone.
They still get the ‘phone is full’ message.
I have the Apple One plan so iCloud space is not an issue.
Suggestions?

You seem to be speaking of 2 different things.
The iPhone's local storage, and the shared iCloud Storage are 2 different things.
Having iCloud Storage does not make the iPhone have more local space.
If the iPhone's local storage is full, then it's full. iCloud will not affect this.
The family member would need to delete content off the iPhone to make room there.
For backups the family member can go into Settings ➜ Account ➜ iCloud.
If the iPhone itself is full, they can go to Settings ➜ General ➜ iPhone Storage and see what's taking up space.
