Bolton's 5 Golden Rules

Our 5 Golden Rules really help you to embed good adult child interactions in the setting and at home. These should form part of your induction and training for your team and be shared regularly and discussed with parents. To help you with this, we have produced some short video clips which can be shared with your families to illustrate the strategies. As always, talking families through and modelling these are the best way to help embed them.

5 Golden Rules leaflet for parents (z-card). Printouts of these are available at all Start Well Family Hubs across the borough.
