About the Hub

HEART Midlands Stronger Practice Hub

  • Proactively sharing information and advice on evidence-based approaches - for example, through newsletters, blogs and social media

  • Working with the EFF to select evidence-based programmes to fund and make available to nurseries and childminders.
