Nesta is offering free, tailored coaching to all local authorities developing their Best Start in Life local plan. We've partnered with Making Evidence Work, specialists in evidence use within children’s services and family support, to deliver expert support that empowers you.

Our coaching sessions provide:

- Expert guidance: Speak to our early years strategy specialists for support with effectively using data and evidence, navigating difficult decisions, and achieving critical multi-agency buy-in.

- Peer learning: We've advised dozens of LAs on their BSIL plans, so signing up means you can find out what your peers are planning and learn from other local authorities in similar positions.

- Practical support: Our coaches will work with you to harness real-world evidence, review your plan documents, and facilitate discussions among your LA stakeholders.
