Training programme for practitioners to support parents with the Home Learning Environment (HLE)

The Authority has received confirmation from Department for Education (DfE) that funds have been granted to the Authority via DfE’s Family Hubs and Start for Life programme 2022-2025. The Start for Life offer includes an element of supporting and developing the Home Learning Environment HLE. The HLE includes the interactions parents have in and around the home with their children from birth. The quality of the HLE is a key predictor of a baby’s and child’s early language ability and future success. The Authority is required to utilise the funding for developing the HLE for training practitioners to support parents with the HLE, which will support educational recovery and improve school readiness.’ The attached link provides further guidance information regarding, Family Hubs and Start for Life programme guide, (See Annex J, language and HLE ) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/family-hubs-and-start-for-life-programme-local-authority-guide
