The Early Learning Partnerships Project - Summary
This is a summary of a report that will be published shortly telling the story of the ELPP.
The Early Learning Partnerships Project, funded by Government from 2006-2008, has targeted particularly vulnerable groups, including parents who might have found engagement with their child difficult and where the child (aged one to three) was at risk of learning delay. It has aimed to build on the knowledge emerging from earlier evaluations of interventions with families at risk.
