Issue - meetings

CS also explained the background to The Early Years Collaborative paper and the developmental milestones. A programme manager has been appointed to move this forward. Senior leaders have been requested to undertake planned visits to centres and engage with practitioners to gain visible understanding.

CS explained that a meeting was arranged for early March where a detailed programme will be worked on and agreed. Partners will be contacted to arrange co-ordinated visits to facilities to meet staff and children and to allow an understanding of the process.

The group agreed the action plan as recommended.

Donald Henderson (DH) asked for future feedback on the process. CS will take this forward.
