Torbay Early Years Graduated Approach Toolkit (TEYGAT) aims to provide a one-stop-shop, for all early years providers to promote inclusive practice and support the additional needs of early years children at a targeted level. For some children universal provision may not meet all of their needs. The importance of early identification and intervention with appropriate multi agency support is key to addressing young children’s needs.

The Torbay Early Years Graduated Approach Toolkit highlights the importance of a quality adaptive approach, which addresses the needs of all children. In these cases, the graduated approach of assess, plan, do, and review cycle, will be put into action. The TEYGAT can support the identification of strategies and resources documented through an Individual Learning and Development Plan (ILDP). This plan will be developed jointly with the child’s family to promote consistent support at both home and at the setting.
