Early Learning Partnerships evaluation leaflet

A new leaflet is available promoting the key messages of the NCB evaluation of the Early Learning Partnerships Project: Strand 3.

NCB was the lead partner in Strand 3 - workforce development: ‘upskilling the workforce to build effective partnerships with parents to support their involvement in their child’s early learning’. The central element of which was a large-scale rollout of PEAL but in addition the programme supported 15 sub-contracted organisations delivering additional training on parental support for young children’s learning and provided the potential for accreditation for the training.

The evaluation identified a ‘huge appetite within the early years workforce for training in engaging parents’ and that ‘much of the training delivered within Strand 3 has the potential to positively influence practitioner-parents relations within a short timescale’.

The leaflet includes: direct feedback from learners, how learners are implementing their learning back in their settings, what the impact has been on practitioners, what the impact has been on settings as a whole and what the impact has been on children and families. The leaflet draws five useful conclusions about the value of this type of training, for practitioners, children and families.
