Abstract
Brings together guidance on sustainable design, sustainable operation of children's centres and sustainable service delivery, to encourage children's centres to become beacons for healthy and sustainable behaviours for their service users and the local community. Also provides suggestions on how children's centre leaders can make improvements in the sustainable operation of their children's centres on a day-to-day basis, and engage communities, children and their families in activities to encourage healthy and sustainable behaviours; and also how local authorities and their Children's Trust partners, and children's centre leaders can promote environmental sustainability in the future design and development of their children's centre buildings.
