2.
3. Local organisations have learnt to think outside the box and work in sometimes unexpected partnerships to reach as many participants as possible
4. Museums and Libraries need families with young children to know that they will be welcomed and that there is fun to be had for all age groups

57. We will ask the adults to make rough notes in a ‘chat log’ to raise awareness of communication with their young children
58. We are thinking of inviting adult participants to come along and do a memory board of the course as a craft exercise and a reinforcement/reminder (and a bit of fun!)
