Creating communities.

• Point for reflection
• There are concerns that childhood as a whole has
  become devalued and we have lost a sense of the
  importance of childrens quality of life.
• From your own experience what do you provide to
  enable a supportive environment which offers a
  positive outcome for families ?

8
Building parenting and family capacity

• Point for reflection
• A vital part of the framework s success will be
  in promoting the community's desire to see
  improvements in parenting , without
  recrimination, in
• valuing and supporting parents to play a positive
  role in the education and care of their
  children.
• What makes an enabling environment?

9
Delivering integrated services

• Point for reflection
• At the heart of the approach are streamlined
  planning, assessment and decision making
  processes that lead to the right help being
  provided at the right time. The emphasis is very
  much on improving outcomes to better meet the
  needs of the child.
• How would you develop a clear understanding of
  this approach with parents, children and staff ?

10
Developing a suitable workforce..

• Point for reflection
• The development of a highly skilled workforce is
  essential to the success full delivery of the key
  themes of the framework. Many establishments
  already support staff working with children and
  families with professional development
  opportunities.
• What are the real issues and challenges in
  developing a skilled workforce? What successes
  have you had or what would you like to develop
  further?
