The Bury EY Physical Development Pathway
This is a multi-agency approach to supporting good Physical Development and health for early years children in Bury. The pathway will help children gain access to the support they need when they need it. It also contains a range of preventative and early intervention approaches to support early language and communication development. The pathway is designed to be flexible, allowing children and families to access support from multiple sections simultaneously if needed. It also recognises that a child’s needs may change over time, enabling movement between different parts of the pathway to ensure the most appropriate support is provided at each stage.
