five to thrive
Who we work with
Hertfordshire County Council
The five to thrive approach arose from a collaboration between Hertfordshire County Council's Childhood Support Services and KCA in 2012.
The project continues to this day with five to thrive resources, and training inputs from KCA, forming a key element of the council's
'My Baby's Brain' initiative.
In the intervening years Hertfordshire Childhood Support Services have continued to evolve and develop how five to thrive is used to support work with families both in universal messaging and as a vital model in work with the most vulnerable and traumatised families.
Barnardo's
Following the national launch of five to thrive in 2014, Barnardo's entered a project with KCA to use five to thrive within its
Early Intervention with Families strategy.
The five to thrive approach and associated resources were quickly adopted by services right across Barnardo's, leading to the production of the
Five to Thrive: Why People Need People guide
and the clear recognition that five to thrive is relevant throughout life.
Other five to thrive licence holders
Since 2014 KCA has licensed the use of five to thrive to more than fifty different organisations from top tier Local Authorities to individual nurseries and schools. Each five to thrive project is unique as KCA supports settings, services and organisations to develop their own five to thrive approach. Our partners include…
