Advisory / Partnership Board
Parents and carers are welcomed at these meetings to meet the partner agencies who deliver services in the centres. This is an opportunity for parents to listen and / or contribute to the discussions.
The board / sub groups aim to support and challenge centre leaders in their work. The board monitors cluster progress against the development plan, which in turn supports the evaluation of services, with a view to improving outcomes for children and families. As a result of discussions The Board supports the identification of priorities for future development.

Early Help and CAF (Common Assessment Framework)
Do you have any of the following problems/concerns?
Ø  Housing
Ø  Budgeting money /Debt management
Ø  Feel that you and your family could do with some extra support with your child’s development such as speech and language, behaviour management etc
Then a CAF could be for you. We recognise that from time to time families may need some extra help. The CAF is a family friendly referral form bringing services together to look at what each service can provide to get the best outcomes for you and your family.
If you have any questions we will try to help. Please call in or telephone one of the outreach team.

“Sure Start Children’s Centres should have a clear core purpose, focused on:
Improving outcomes for young children and their families, with a particular focus on the most disadvantaged families, in order to reduce inequalities in child development and school readiness.”
(http://www.foundationyears.org.uk/making-it-happen/sure-start-children-centres/ )
With this in mind we are always looking for ways to improve the services we provide for Dads Mums grandparents and others who care for children under five.
If you have any suggestions please speak to a member of staff, contact us by email on or put a suggestion in the box in any of the reception areas.
