The Key Working training supports participants to develop and build

underpins it. The training is subsidised by Government funding so
multiagency practitioners and parent carers can access the training
free of charge. The training is delivered over two days, including
interim distance learning. It embeds the Early Support principles
into the key working functions, supporting participants to put
these into practice. Underpinning this is an exploration of how
working in partnership could contribute to good practice in key
working. Accreditation is available and participants will be
given the opportunity to select an assessed route through the
course. Visit the Early Support website to find an event
