Funding provided by the Co-operative Councils’ Innovation Network supported the City of Edinburgh Council Early Years Team to work co-operatively with Third Sector Organisation – Lothian Association of Youth Clubs and eight ‘not for profit’ out of school care providers across Edinburgh.

Practitioners attended training sessions that reinforced Curriculum for Excellence, Health and Wellbeing – Experiences and Outcomes.
