Three new studies on early years practice have been published by the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children's and Young People's Services (C4EO).

The three studies are Improving Development outcomes for Children, Improving attainment and Narrowing the Gap.

The three studies are attached as portable document files (.pdf)

Included in this pack is a session plan for a two hour session and all of the related handouts. It covers early adolescence to the mid to late twenties.

This session has been trialled as part of the Common Induction Standards training in Warwickshire.
