Spreading the Word in Falkirk November 2013
The objective of the Early Years Collaborative (EYC) is to accelerate the conversion of the high level principles set out in GIRFEC and the Early Years Framework into practical action. This must:
•Deliver tangible improvement in outcomes and reduce inequalities for Scotland’s vulnerable children.•Put Scotland squarely on course to shifting the balance of public services towards early intervention and prevention by 2016.•Sustain this change to 2018 and beyond.
Who is involved?
•Education – EY Practitioners, Headteachers, Educational Psychology, Family
Support Workers
•Health – Health Visitors, Midwives,
•Third Sector – Aberlour, Barnardos,
•Police Scotland•Social Work
What are the Ambition & Aims of the Early Years
Collaborative?
To make Scotland the best place in the world
to grow up in by improving outcomes, and
reducing inequalities, for all babies, children,
mothers, fathers and families across Scotland
to ensure that all children have the best start in
life and are ready to succeed
Ambition
To ensure that women experience positive pregnancies which result in the birth of more healthy babies as evidenced by a reduction of 15% in the rates of stillbirths (from 4.9 per 1,000 births in 2010 to 4.3 per 1,000 births in 2015) and infant mortality (from 3.7 per 1,000 live births in 2010 to 3.1 per 1,000 live births in 2015).
Aim – Work Stream 1
To ensure that 85% of all children within each Community Planning Partnership have reached all of the expected developmental milestones at the time of the child’s 27 30 month child ‐health review, by end of 2016.
Aim – Work Stream 2
To ensure that 90% of all children within each Community Planning Partnership have reached all of the expected developmental milestones at the time the child starts primary school, by end of 2017.
Aim – Work Stream 3
To ensure that 95% of all children within each Community Planning Partnership have reached all of the expected developmental milestones at the time the child ends Primary 4, by end of 2021.
Draft Aim – Work Stream 5
Provide the Leadership System to support quality improvement across the Early Years Collaborative.
Timely delivery of all four workstreams stretch aims.

Why do you need to improve?
"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've
always got." Albert Einstein
Where we are!
How do you
bridge the gap
between these
two
conditions?Where we want to be!
The Early Years Collaborative Method for Improvement provides a METHOD and a CULTURE to:
learn from each other test ideas implement changes spread improvement

“Let’s try it!”“Did it work?”
“What’s next? ”

Changes that will result in improvement
Constantly learning from data
Proposals, theories, hunches, intuition
Setting an Aim
• Explicit – “what is our target?”
• Timed – “by when?”
• Numeric – “how will we measure this?”
• Unachievable (by hard work alone)
• Non-negotiable (once set)
Success Criteria•Understand rapid cycle PDSA testing.•Understand how theory and prediction aid learning.•See how to collect real-time measurement.•Appreciate the opportunity of collaborative learning.
Let’s Test!!

TargetTarget
Key Points•Knowledge is gained through testing•Tests should be small, rapid and sequential•Theory and prediction preceding every test is evaluated afterwards, rather than the results•Learning from other teams can accelerate learning and understanding.•Measurement does not have to be hard and aids learning.
