Para 1.38 Contribution made by volunteers Other Achievements and Performance SORP reference We focus our work on improving the life chances for the children in our care. We serve an area in Nelson that includes some disadvantaged children. 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 effective method of introduction. We also work closely with the Local Authority to ensure staff attend training courses that upskill our staff to provide high quality provision enabling us to put early interventions in place for individual children. We assess and plan our activities so that we can identify areas of need and put in place preventative work to support the children's progress. We provide individual support for targeted children who are referred to us by the Local Authority.
