Positive relationships: PPEL project - World of discovery

Parents learned how to take an artist's ideas home for further exploring with their young children, in a project described by Debbie Shepherd.

'We know that parents are central to children's wellbeing and that children's experiences in their early years have a major impact on later life. It is vital that children have a sound basis on which to learn and develop, as well as enjoying time with their parents.'

Children's minister Beverley Hughes

The World of Discovery project was developed in Thurrock using targeted funds from the Government. The project supported innovative working with vulnerable parents to encourage their involvement in their children's development and learning. This was known as the Parents as Partners in Early Learning (PPEL) project.

I led the project to support parents with their children from pre-birth to up to three years old.
