Outcome 1
What is a positive environment indoors and outdoors?
It’s comfortable, interesting, attractive and appropriate for the child or children who use it. For some children it becomes like a second home where they eat and sometimes sleep. A suitable environment for a young baby will be very different from a suitable environment for a four or five year old although some features will be the same. Environments should be attractive and make children feel safe and secure and happy to be there and they should also be places where children can confidently play and learn.
Research framework that supports a positive environment for children
At the heart of this framework is an approach which recognises the right of all young children to high quality relationships, environments and services which offer a holistic approach to meeting their needs. Such needs should be interpreted broadly and encompass play, learning, social relationships and emotional and physical wellbeing. This approach is important for all children but is of particular benefit in offering effective support to those children and families requiring higher levels of support.
Early intervention has relevance to a wide range of social policy but it is particularly relevant in early years, which will often be the earliest and best opportunity to intervene. We have identified 4 principles of early intervention. In short, these are:
• we want all to have the same outcomes and the same opportunities;
• we identify those at risk of not achieving those outcomes and take steps to prevent that risk materialising;
• where the risk has materialised, we take effective action;
• we work to help parents, families and communities to develop their own solutions, using accessible, high quality public services as required
