Family Learning CentresCommunity Assets
• Developing the philosophy
• Building on what we already have
Strong partnerships with parents
Trust and confidence
Family projects / parenting programmes – working in the community with the community
• Flexible approach – not a one-size fits all
• Extended day versus term-time – not an issue eg. partner support during holidays
Next Steps
• Joint support teams to be extended across the city : rollout planned in line with Community Planning identified priority areas
• Family support being provided to be further extended : maximising existing partnerships ; new partnerships
• Staff training : comprehensive multi agency approach
• Research evidence base to be developed : GCPH ; SDQ
But …………
• Long term programme : we need to remain committed to it
• EYC methodology testing but has still to be proved workable in this context
• Our overarching aim is to build better families who are able to better support their children
• This will take more than early intervention but is closely linked to the wellbeing of the city in every sense
