If you want to improve or overhaul your current monitoring and evaluation systems, improve your business strategy and future sustainability, this is the place to start. Ms Akehurst, formerly head of early years at Derbyshire County Council, wrote this because she had never come across one document which adequately explains how these link together from an early years perspective. It covers how to develop an effective monitoring framework and the reasons to do so, managing performance and accurate self-evaluation, with handy templates.
