BookTrust programmes help local authorities provide a joined-up, community-centred strategy to achieve their objectives in early years provision for families. Over the past two years, BookTrust has collaborated with councils to pursue a range of different pathways for integrating its shared reading support across 124 Family Hubs in England.
In Birmingham, the existing multi-agency approach connects early years teams, children’s centres and Family Hubs, libraries and health visitors - all of which use BookTrust programmes in their work.
