An Introduction to Using Early Support Materials in Context course for Dietitians
This session focuses on key working being implemented in practice as well as how Early Support materials can be used and adapted by families and professionals.

By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Explain the ethos of key working and how this can be implemented in practice
- Explain how Early Support (ES) materials can be adapted to address the needs of individual children and families
- Describe how developmental journals could be introduced and used by families and professionals
The previous session introduced you to the Early Developmental Support (EDS) principles and how the Early Support (ES) resources and way of working can help to put these into practice.
Session 2 will build on this, and show how the EDS principles and ES resources can be used in practice to provide joined-up services for children and young people. There will be a particular focus on using the ES resources within a key working approach.
