Practical guidance, exercises and ideas, accompanied by audio-visual materials and interactive learning tools. They areĀ  available to be used by all agencies in our network, supported by our 'Regional Lead' staff.

Derived from our Change Projects they provide tried and tested methods of building evidence-informed practice into services for children and their families. The content is generated by professionals over the course of a year, working together to develop thinking to produce an Action Pack, which crystallises the collective learning. Action Packs are then piloted and, using the insight and input gained from the reviewing process, are refined and re-written as Handbooks.
