Nursery World - Spotlight on…Clare Law

Development manager at Blackpool’s Centre for Early Child Development

What does your work entail?

I work in a partnership with the local community and agencies from across public, private and voluntary sectors to deliver a vision of ensuring that our youngest children in Blackpool have the best possible start in life. My role is to explore and develop approaches and interventions that have worked across the world and adapt them to work within our local context, to help prevent neglect, improve parent-child interactions and support families impacted by substance misuse.

You’ve been awarded the Winston Churchill Fellowship in the field of Early Years Prevention and Intervention…

The premise of the fellowship is to support British citizens to travel overseas in pursuit of new and better ways of tackling a wide range of the current challenges facing the UK. The idea is that the learning you gain will be widely disseminated and act as a catalyst for change within communities. There are different categories and research areas for applications. Anyone can apply and it gives a fantastic platform for applicants from all walks of life.
