Room Leader Networks are now offered by our local Stronger Practice Hub, with separate networks running for babies, toddlers and pre-school room leaders.
Take advantage of this opportunity to join a community of like-minded room leaders, with a focus on developing your skills as a leader, as well as on developing the high-quality provision in your room.
The networks involve three face-to-face days across the year, where you will come together with colleagues to learn more about leadership and discover thought provoking ideas about what good practice looks like.
You will have chance to learn about new theories and ideas, reflect on your own practice and take away top tips and suggestions to try in your own rooms. There will be chance to celebrate and share what you have been doing with colleagues and with opportunities to develop relationships and learn from each other over time.
You can read more about the Room Leader Networks on page 4 of this DNEY Newsletter.

From the 1st April 2025, the Behaviour and Emotional Health Team are changing their name to the Neurodevelopmental Pathway and Support Team (NPST)
The Neurodevelopmental Assessment Pathway
The Neurodevelopmental assessment pathway for children and young people is designed to support
early identification, assessment, and management of neurodevelopmental disorders such as
Autism, ADHD, and other related conditions.
However, during the assessment process, it is essential to recognise potential medical concerns
that may require urgent attention, known as the "red flag" criteria.
These red flags serve as critical indicators of underlying medical conditions that may either mimic
or coexist with neurodevelopmental disorders, impacting the child’s overall health and development.
