Collaborate to change systems

The challenges facing young children and families are complex.

We work with partners nationally and locally to understand what is happening for families, identify where systems could work better and test new approaches.

Be part of our place-based work

We currently work in Stoke-on-Trent, Redcar & Cleveland, Middlesbrough and West Dunbartonshire, bringing local partners together to improve support for families and help children thrive.

Connecting local services

We bring together local authorities, health services, schools, family hubs, charities and community organisations to make support more joined up.

Building trusted relationships with families

Our parent outreach teams build trusted relationships with families to help them access the support that’s right for them.

Shaping support around local needs

We tailor our work to each place, using evidence, local insight and learning from families to identify what will make the greatest difference.

This can include:

  • Strengthening parent, baby and toddler groups
  • Supporting early language and communication in informal settings or within the education system
  • Working with midwives and health visitors
  • Helping children make a confident transition into school

 

By adding capacity, coordinating services and taking a long-term approach, we help local partners develop solutions that last.

Want to make a difference in your community?

We’re always interested in hearing from organisations who want to positively impact child development in their community.
