New toolkit to support early learning for children in poverty

Save the Children has developed a new toolkit to provide a guide for improving the early learning outcomes of children growing up in poverty.

In partnership with sector professionals, the charity has released the Early Learning Communities Toolkit under a Creative Commons license to provide full access to communities across the UK to use and share knowledge and creativity.

The toolkit is underpinned by an accompanying Evidence Review, which summarises the best available information about what matters, what works and what’s needed for improving early learning outcomes.

Save the Children says the Early Learning Communities Toolkit provides a step by step process to working together to improve the early learning outcomes of children living in poverty.

In this context, children in poverty are those who have claimed eligibility for free school meals through a qualifying benefit such as income support or universal credit.
