• 2005: ‘Direction of Travel’ document was published and many practitioners and organisations attended meetings and gave their views.
• May - July 2006: Formal consultation on a draft document. Questionnaires used and several thousand responses from the full range of providers, practitioners and national organisations. Those responses have been taken into account as fully as possible in the final version.

interconnected.

Theme: Positive Relationships Principle: Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.
