Some Important Notes

• All feedback will be gathered after the session
  by the Early Years Collaborative team and made
  available on the Extranet.
• Our discussions today are about learning, not
  about performance, so sharing your challenges and
  failures can be just as important as sharing your
  wins and successes.

5
Meeting Norms Refresh

• Suspend judgment as best you can.
• Respect one another.
• Seek to understand rather than persuade.
• Invite and honour diverse opinions.
• Speak what has personal heart and meaning.
• Go for honesty without going on and on and on.

Operational Definition

• Developing Parents Skills
• Any approach should be child centred and
  characterised by mobilising the strengths, skills
  and knowledge of parents in order to enhance the
  well being of their children. This will require
  real connection and understanding between
  parents, their wider networks of support and
  professionals within communities in order to
  improve outcomes for children and their
  families.

Parting thoughts

• We need Pioneer Sites!
• Remember, a Pioneer Site has the will and
  interest, the leadership support, some existing
  work in this area, resources (people) to
  adequately do the work, and a willingness to
  share their data and progress.
• Do you think your CPP could be a Pioneer Site?
  Express interest with one of your facilitators
  and the EYC team will follow up to explore this
  opportunity with you.
