In collaboration with Derbyshire Local Authority, this promises to be a dynamic and inspiring day focused on Engaging Every Family in the Early Years.

Join us as we celebrate and explore meaningful parental engagement.

This event is ideal for:
• School-based settings
• PVI providers
• Childminders

Expect a powerful day of insight and practical strategies designed to strengthen parental engagement and help give every child the very best start in life.

We are delighted to welcome Janet Goodall as our keynote speaker. Janet will begin the day by sharing her expertise on Stronger Starts and the transformative impact of meaningful family engagement.
