CUSTOMISED PUBLICATIONS - For authorities and other organisations the publications listed below have been developed by practitioners for you to commission your own branded copies of.

Alternatively, you can buy small quantities that are not 'customised' from stock.  Already local authorities and other larger organisations have taken advantage of this opportunity and because all of the research, production and set up work has been done, you can save on the time and costs associated with the development of similar new specialist publications yourselves.

Brand your publications and save money and time! 'Customisation' offers local authorities and other larger organisations the chance to ‘brand’ publications with their own logo and contact details. And at a time when budgets are going to be tight, you can save on the costs and time normally associated with the development and production of a new item or publication like those shown on this site - because its all been done! That’s all of the set up work, including copywriting and editing, design, artwork, templates and pre-production tooling. This means much less work for you to do, faster production and less to budget for!   It’s also a good way of getting the information out there for use in your own community, whilst promoting your organisation (for instance you may wish to have copies in each of your settings, in children's centres, or to give to your registered childminders).

Sharing good practice. 'JOINT PARTNERSHIP PUBLISHING'.   If you have a publication you would like to discuss and get produced in partnership with us, please contact us for details and benefits.
