ExChange: Family and Community is an online "Community of Practice" resource hub that aims to provide resources that can help to support families and communities. ExChange: Family and Community was commissioned by the Welsh Government and developed in conjunction with an advisory group from Families First and Flying Start teams.
ExChange works on the principle that best practice can develop where experience and expertise are shared and collaboration encouraged. This site provides a location for published and unpublished materials to be shared freely with the aim of supporting Welsh Government’s commitment to children, young people, families, and communities in Wales. ExChange: Family and Community hosts resources and provides opportunities for discussion and further engagement.
