Q:	Who is the Communication Language and Literacy Development (CLLD) audit for?
A:	Although the CLLD is not compulsory it is an extremely useful document for settings and schools to evaluate their practice and provision. When Mentor Teachers make their visits in 2007, they will collect information regarding the settings priority. This information can then be used to provide future training and workshops. Mentor teachers will also support settings with any issues that arise. For schools, it is a useful document to enable you to reflect on your practice and provision and work as a school to address the issues and shares these with senior management.

Q:	Will the outdoor publication on the website be published in colour?
A:	As yet there is no intention to publish the document in colour. But it is useful for settings thinking about developing their outdoor use in all weathers with other practical tips included. The publication can be downloaded from the Outdoor Learning Publication page of this website.

Q:	Where can I find out ideas for child initiated learning?
A:	The key to this question is to observe the children in your setting, respond to their interests and how they prefer to learn and provide them with opportunities to stimulate their interests. Children need time to revisit their learning and sometimes will surprise you with what they choose to do with the materials available to them. Tried and Tested Materials may help you as a starting point or give you fresh ideas to work with your children.

Q:	Where can I find rhymes from other cultures?
A:	This question is being asked a lot at the moment, because of settings responding to the CLLD audit. Any good bookshop will help you with this or alternatively the library will request books for you to borrow. The multicultural centre based at Quorn Hall will also lend books and artefacts (but book these early as they are popular). Contact Barbara on 01509 621579 or email blofthouse@leics.gov.uk . Look at the resource page of this website to see what is available. Liz Smith the inclusion officer is also happy to help and support settings. She can be contacted on 0116 2658042 or email Elizabeth.Smith@leics.gov.uk

Q:	Where can I get a copy of the CLLD audit from?
A:	Schools can download the audit from the standards website if their head teacher or subject coordinator had not got a copy. The literacy team assure me that every head teacher was given a copy when they attended a meeting and were sent one I they could not attend.
