<\/a><\/p>\nHi, my name is Lisa Boa and I have been an Early Years Pedagogue with Falkirk Council since April 2020. In August 2021, I was successful in being seconded to Falkirk Council\u2019s new Early Intervention Team. \u00a0I am passionate about Getting it Right for Every Child, ensuring children and families get the right help, at the right time, from the right people. \u00a0A huge part of my new role is fostering and developing inclusive and equitable spaces, interactions, practices, and initiatives.\u00a0 For me it\u2019s all about reflecting on our values, visions, and practice.\u00a0 We need to reflect upon and ask the why\/ why not questions, tune into our children, analyse our observations and create supportive environments.\u00a0 We also need to consider meeting children\u2019s individual needs by ensuring a right-based approach which helps to celebrate diversities, cultures, and uniqueness.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n My Early Intervention Role and Responsibilities include:<\/strong><\/p>\n As a team we are continually using the model for improvement to measure and analyse the impact we are having. \u00a0It is important to us, as an Early Intervention Team that we have direction and clear aims to work towards. \u00a0Our aims for this year are:<\/p>\n So far: Vicki and the CARE Group have supported 53 children and families through a variety of early support and interventions. Positive feedback about the group has been given from a wide range of partner agencies.\u00a0 I was delighted to read the positive outcomes within the reviews from parents\/carers and support services; \u201cI think the intervention\/extra support will make an incredible difference to this family\u201d, \u201cI appreciate the time you have taken to consider this referral\u201d, \u201cThe impact that it will make to the family will be of great support and allow them to get back on track\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Childcare Allocation, Review and Evaluation Group (known as the CARE Group) is a multi-agency group, which is led by Falkirk Council Children\u2019s Services. \u00a0The group allocates support to children and their families during the Early Years. \u00a0If you would like to know more about the CARE Group, the leaflet can be found on the FC Glow website or contact Vicki Muir.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So far: 71% of Peep trained practitioners have delivered a Peep session through SWAY, virtual online sessions, outdoor sessions and 1:1 sessions. \u00a0Remember you don\u2019t need to be Peep trained to deliver family learning sessions they can comprise of varying experiences; rhyme times, Bookbug, storytelling sessions, outdoor play and stay, buggy walks, walk and talk, sharing link resources through social media and so much more. \u00a0Learning from and with our parents\/carers and creating those invaluable relationships are key to providing the best opportunities for our little people to be the best they can be.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So far: 60% of our nurseries have attended the in-service training. \u00a044% of the practitioners that attended the training have increased in confidence and knowledge in supporting children with ASN. \u00a0We have also had good examples of the impact the training has made on practitioners\u2019 practices eg. creating team agreements around consistent language and strategies, child behaviours changing because of strategies suggested at the training and the benefits of open and honest dialogue within teams. \u00a0I would also like to thank our colleagues in Inclusion & Wellbeing and Aberlour for the fantastic input they provide at the training, they are invaluable.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t already signed up, please sign up for the May In-service, it is one of Falkirk\u2019s BIG priorities this year and has had great feedback.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
