As Scotland's early years intermediary agency supporting community-based early years services, the SPPA welcomes the Early Years Framework.
Having contributed to the consultation process over nine months and having participated in the expert task groups associated with drafting the framework, SPPA supports the main thrust of the EYF. We think it offers a great opportunity to deliver the best outcomes for our youngest children, both in the short and longer term. SPPA looks forward to working with the Scottish Government, local authorities and colleagues across the sector to implement this.
SPPA endorses the holistic approach the EYF takes to the delivery of early years and childcare services. The drive to integrate services and forge creative partnerships in the sector, the empowerment of parents by embedding structured support for parenting to enable them to fulfil that role for their child's well-being and development, are all welcome components of the EYF. So too particularly is the recognition of the value and long-term benefits of play to children's all-round development.
