[IN-PERSON] Ladywood & Perry Barr District Network Meetings - 2023/24

The Birmingham Early Years Network (BEYN) district network meetings aim to provide local practitioners with the opportunity to share information and access professional development.

For 2023/24, network meetings will be delivered in paired districts. The pairings are based on the Local Authority Health profiles (North, South, East, West and Central).

Two network meetings will be held each term - one online and one in-person.

The focus for the meetings will primarily be networking and communication, rather than delivering specific content.

Summer Term In-Person Meeting: Wed 1 May, 10:00-11:30 @ Brearley Nursery School (TBC)

📍 134 Brearley Street, Newtown, B19 3XJ

There will be an opportunity to discuss our 'Ready Steady Reception' document, along with District Transition events. Let's get talking about children's ability to self-help, self-care, and also how to support parents and carers; tips for toileting, nutrition, and sleeping arrangements. And how these routines support children's learning, and development and aids the transition into Reception.

What is a Steering Group?

Whilst all 2023/24 network meetings are being delivered in paired districts, Steering Groups will remain district-based to recognise the individual needs of each District.

Every district is run by a Steering Group that meets at least three times a year. The Steering Group is made up of representatives from across the Early Years community and childcare provision in the district who work together to support contact, communication, collaboration, and engagement across the sector.

Ladywood district covers the wards of Aston, parts of Bordesley and Highgate, Bordesley Green, parts of Holyhead, Ladywood, Lozells, Nechells, Newtown, parts of North Edgbaston, and Soho and Jewellery Quarter.

Perry Barr district covers parts of Aston ward, and the wards of Birchfield, Handsworth, Handsworth Wood, parts of Holyhead, Kingstanding, Lozells, Newtown, Oscott, and Perry Barr.

Steering Group representatives use the District Data Profiles, alongside any other local information, to develop an action plan that is focused on the children in the district.

More information about Steering Groups and how they are run can be found here.
