Is there another way?
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump,
bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind
Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows,
the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes
he feels that there really is another way, if
only he could stop bumping for a moment and think
of it. Stories of Winnie-The-Pooh, AA Milne 1989
29
We publish practical guidance that is developed
in a collaborative manner

• We work closely with those in Local Authorities
  who are working with schools on the National
  Agreement and the development of extended
  services
• We collaborate with school representatives and
  then work together on practical guidance that can
  be shared with others
• We seek advice on how content is best accessed,
  for example through the web or via brochures
