This will involve a ‘hands on’ approach taking a mobile play resource to families (whether living on Traveller sites, at the roadside or in settled accommodation) and working with them to encourage their child’s development through play.

• work in partnership with families to promote and facilitate positive parenting and the enhancement of the role of parents as ‘first educators’.

• innovatively support and extend play experiences to ensure early outcomes are achieved.
