campaigning for effective joined-up early child and family support
.


This website is about babies, infants and preschool children who have some significant
difference, delay or challenge that gets in the way of their development, learning and quality of life.
Some young children have several challenges at the same time.

A VISION FOR THE FUTURE

- Education for preschool children combined with support for their families will be as generally available as is education for children of school age.
- Each locality will have a well-organised early child and family support system offering effective joined-up support to all who ask for it.
- In each locality there will be an early support workforce in which multidiscplinary practitioners share a basic training in child development and family support.
- Early support systems will be supported and resourced by local and national legislation with agreed standards and inspection procedures.

This new website, begun in 2026, is developed and edited by Peter Limbrick with the aim
of helping people trying to improve their local early support or build a whole new system.
Information about early support is welcome from all countries so the website can grow.
The pages are in two sets:

1. Information about early support coming in from around the world

2. The editor's experience of early support and his views about how it can be improved

As this new website grows, its value will lie in the information brought to it from around the world. This will be relevant research, examples of good practice, essays about theories and projects, training resources and up-to-date news. Please send your informationin when you have time.
