Partnerships for a Better Start: Perspectives on the role of children’s centres
Wat is het?
NCB has compiled this collection of essays to consider the future development of children’s centres. Children’s centres are now at the heart of most communities, providing a range of on site and outreach services to support young children and their families from pre-birth to age five. However, due to economic constraints, many children’s centres are no longer able to operate at full strength, leading to a scaling down of services and the restructuring of children’s centres into cluster or ‘hub and spoke’ models. Given this situation, this pamphlet intends to assist in the development of a more defined purpose and vision for children’s centres.
Hoe gebruiken
This series of essays will be of interest to policy-makers, parliamentarians, commissioners of children’s centre services, early years and health practitioners, and the voluntary and community sector. Please see ‘Challenges and Next Steps’ on page 29 for more information on how you can engage in the debate NCB is starting on the future of children’s centres.
