Parents play a crucial role in their children's development in early childhood and practitioners need to be trained to recognise this. This was one of the main findings from a new Oxford University research evaluation on the Early Learning Partnership Project (ELPP).

The ELPP was set up by the Family and Parenting Institute on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

It targeted children aged one to three who were at risk of learning delay.
