Professional settings

These forums give practitioners a structured way to work together and share expertise. They focus on supporting children who may need extra help to thrive.

What the forums provide

Local networking

Forums are held in each district:

  • Stafford
  • Cannock
  • Tamworth
  • East Staffordshire
  • Newcastle
  • Moorlands
  • Lichfield
  • South Staffordshire

This makes it easy to connect with colleagues in your area.

Collaborative problem-solving

Professionals can:

  • discuss individual cases
  • share strategies
  • agree on coordinated approaches for children with emerging or identified needs

Access to guidance

Forums link settings to:

  • local authority resources
  • specialist services
  • best practice advice

This helps you meet statutory requirements and deliver high-quality provision.

Focus on early intervention

Working together means concerns can be identified early. This allows targeted support and reduces the need for more intensive interventions later.
