Para 1.20 | We focus our work on improving the life chances for the children in our care. We serve an area in the county of Caerfli that includes some of the most disadvantaged children in Wales. We do this in several ways including by introducing the Welsh language to children who come from non Welsh speaking families. We know that giving these children the advantage of being bilingual will greatly increase their chances of employment when they later become adults and that introducing a new language during the preschool years is the most efectve method of introducton. We also work closely with the Local Authority to ensure staf atend training courses that upskill our staf to provide high quality provision enabling us to put early interventons in place for individual children. We assess and plan our actvites so that we can identfy areas of need and put in place preventatve work to support the children’s progress. We provide individual support for targeted children who are referred to us by the Local Authority. |
