The Board received a report and presentation updating on progress with the Early Years Transformation Academy 2019/20, an Applied Learning programme for staff working across maternity and early years. The vision for the Academy was set out as an appendix to the report.
The programme is being delivered in partnership with the Early Intervention Foundation (EIF), a Government supported charity established to champion and support the use of effective early intervention to improve the lives of children and young people at risk of experiencing poor outcomes.
In the light of the presentation the Board agreed to:
· Continue to support staff capacity to make the most of this opportunity that has been secured for Barking and Dagenham;
· Support the mobilisation and delivery of the transformation plan developed during the process of the Academy;
· Encourage partner organisations to make the most of this opportunity and to support mobilisation of the transformation plan following completion of the Academy, and
· Discuss and explore the applicability of the Academy learning model to other health and wellbeing transformation initiatives.
