The programme is delivered in 3 sessions:
- A virtual session to introduce the aims of the programme and why we want to deliver it in our Children's Centres

- After approximately 6 weeks there will be a follow up virtual session which will reflect on the learning and how we deliver in our Children's Centres including within the context of our Architecture for Professional Practice.
