Abstract: Between 2023 and 2025, the National Literacy Trust (NLT) partnered with the Department for Education to use a place-based approach to boost the Better Health Start for Life campaign and the early language support it offered to families. This initiative successfully embedded Better Health Start for Life messaging and practical tools to support early communication and language development into family hubs in 75 local authorities. By collaborating with local partners, training community volunteers and practitioners, and delivering tailored resources and campaigns in areas of need, the project successfully strengthened early support pathways and the early language support available to local communities. This report summarises NLT's delivery, outcomes and learning to date. It demonstrates how a national campaign, when embedded through locally owned and place-based strategies, can help shift practice, build system capacity and ultimately improve outcomes for young children and their families.
