In order to be effective in the new era of multi-agency working, the EYP will have to adopt a pro-active approach. They will need a solid understanding of how to work with professionals outside of their settings and an appreciation of how both formal and informal exchanges can benefit children, says CWDC chief executive Jane Haywood. Standard 36 'Contribute to the work of a multi-professional team and where appropriate, co-ordinate and implement agreed programmes and interventions on a day-to-day basis'.

Standard 36 'Contribute to the work of a multi-professional team and where appropriate, co-ordinate and implement agreed programmes and interventions on a day-to-day basis'.

Leading a team

Standard 36 sits within the section 'Teamwork and Collaboration'. This section contains three other standards through which EYPs must demonstrate they are able to establish a collaborative and co-operative working culture, ensure colleagues understand their role, are able to plan appropriately, and influence and shape the policies and practice of the setting.

This section and this standard in particular outlines how EYPs will lead and support all colleagues and be pro-active in working with other early years providers and professionals within and outside their own settings, in order to provide the best development and learning opportunities for children.
