Described as a ‘co-production’ by children’s minister Sarah Teather, it has been formed to develop a collaborative approach between Government and the early years sector to help to draw up an early years policy statement and to address major policy issues.
In her column in this week’s Nursery World, the children’s minister said of the steering group, ‘Our approach is a genuine partnership, signalling the start of a longer-term shift to a new way of working. This is what we are calling ‘co-production’, and I have already brought together a group of individuals to think about our collective purpose, and sustainable, national, leadership, as well as specific issues of policy.’
‘My hope is that this steering group will help me and my officials develop a better way to achieve our shared goals, and define that new way of working for the future.’
