Working with the PVI Sectors

Together for Children (TfC) held an incubator workshop in July 2007 which brought together representatives from Local Authorities (LAs), Sure Start Children's Centres (SSCCs), the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), private childcare providers, the Confederation of British Industry and national children's charities, including childcare.
 
The workshop explored how Local Authorities and the private, voluntary and independent (PVI) sectors might be able to improve the way they work together in the delivery of Sure Start Children's Centres and services.
 
The outcome of the incubator is this suite of products: a range of documents which are designed to be used by both colleagues in LAs and in local PVI organisations as they work together to deliver SSCCs and services in their communities.
 
We hope that you find these products useful. If you have any feedback or would like hard copies of the support products, please contact us at mail@togetherforchildren.co.uk
