Helping people to help themselves |

Volcom is the research and development lab for learning in Hull. We gather together ideas about community learning by talking to people, visiting courses and sometimes thinking them up ourselves. Then we see whether those ideas work in practice. When we find ideas that work, we persuade people who fund or provide courses, like colleges, schools and community centres, to take those ideas on board in their work.

Draft Early Support and Intervention Strategy - Children's TrustPlease find attached the Draft Early Support and Intervention Strategy for the Children’s Trust. The aim of the Strategy is that, where necessary, we will intervene:- • ‘Early’ in a child’s life; • ‘Early’ in the course of an emerging need or concern; • ‘Early’ in the course of a child becoming ‘looked after’, Evidence shows that if children can safely return to their homes in the first few weeks of becoming ‘looked after’ (formerly, ‘in care’) their life chances and overall outcomes are better than if they become settled in the looked after system.
