A programme which is supporting children's centre leaders to work at a more strategic level and improve local services is now beginning to bear fruit.
The National College for School Leadership (NCSL) Early Years Integrated System Leadership programme has been running since February. Its 12 participating children's centre heads are now beginning to provide evidence about how they can effect change.
As part of the programme, participants have looked at opportunities and challenges around integrated system leadership, building relationships and becoming agents for change. They have also carried out research into an aspect of leadership that can be innovative, including themes such as creating learning environments for children and families, engaging with children with disabilities, and collaborative neighbourhood work to improve community cohesion.
