Flying Start will be aimed at expectant parents, new<br />

families with children aged 0-3 years <strong>and</strong> Luton’s school<br />

children who will be the next generation of parents.<br />

Flying Start co-ordinator said: “We want to build on what we already know<br />

works well locally <strong>and</strong> refocus services to concentrate on preventative<br />

initiatives, creating services that provide support before problems arise, so that<br />

we can really make a difference to family’s <strong>and</strong> children’s lives.”<br />

The programme aims to develop an additional workforce including key<br />

workers, local students <strong>and</strong> community volunteers to work alongside families<br />

<strong>and</strong> professionals to promote good parenting <strong>and</strong> to link families to other<br />

services. Local people will also be invited to sit on Flying Start Community<br />

Partnerships therefore having a direct impact on decision making <strong>and</strong> to<br />

influence what services are delivered to support families <strong>and</strong> individuals.<br />

Flying Start is being developed by the Pre-school Learning Alliance, Luton<br />

Borough Council including Public Health, NHS Luton Clinical Commissioning<br />

Group <strong>and</strong> a number of partners including the police, university, London<br />

Luton Airport Limited, <strong>and</strong> voluntary sector organisations.<br />
