Alliance wins Early Years and Partnership Working at CYP Now Awards
The Alliance has picked up two awards at the CYP Now Awards - winning the Early Years Award and Partnership Working Award with A Better Start Southend.
A Better Start Southend is a partnership of organisations working to make Southend-on-Sea the best place to have a child and raise a family. The Alliance has a central organising role in the partnership and works alongside partners including Southend-on-Sea City Council, two NHS foundation trusts, Essex Police, and the University of Essex on the project.
Neil Leitch, CEO of the Alliance, said: 鈥淲e are thrilled to win both the Early Years and Partnership Working categories at this year鈥檚 CYP Now Awards. Both awards are testament to the hard work of our colleagues, partners and parents across the Alliance and at A Better Start Southend.
鈥淓very child, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to access and benefit from a high quality early years education that not only prepares them for the transition to primary school but helps to equip them with vital communication skills that stay with them for life.
鈥淪o, we are honoured that the dedication and passion of colleagues has been recognised by CYP Now, especially given that we were nominated alongside so many inspiring groups and individuals who work tirelessly to support children, young people and their families.鈥
