Effective integration of Sure Start services has positive impact on children, parents and the community
10 Jul 2009
Effective integration of services, a positive ethos and a 'can do' approach by professionals at Sure Start children’s centres are providing invaluable support for children, their families and the local community, according to Ofsted’s latest report, The impact of integrated services on children and their families in Sure Start children’s centres, published today.
Surveying 20 children’s centres in six local authorities – all within the 30 per cent most deprived areas in the country – this small scale survey found over half of the centres are providing effective integration of services in supporting children and their parents making life changing differences. Leadership and management are rated good and outstanding in 15 of the centres visited.
