	The Department&amp;nbsp;has published a discussion paper on increasing parental and community involvement in Sure Start Children&amp;#39;s Centres.&amp;nbsp;The aim of the discussion paper is to see how the Department can help parents and communities have more of a say in shaping and delivering children&amp;#39;s centre services, and becoming much more involved in the activities of their children&amp;#39;s centres.&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;
	&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;
	Please respond and pass on to any parents that you think may be interested.&amp;nbsp;The paper also invites expressions of interest from groups of parents who are interested in developing their own community management models for children&amp;#39;s centres, for example&amp;nbsp;cooperatives and&amp;nbsp;social enterprises.&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;
