Hi, integrating new information helps to improve practice, form opinion, build knowledge and better outcomes. It can be policy to integrate new information for personal reasons, professional reasons, reasons of compliance and for other need. It can help settings offer a balanced approach to their provision and provide the flexibility that allows everyone the confidence to call in and ask ..
New information has the potential to turn what's currently in place upside down, make current procedures/policies seem inappropriate and on the flip side can reinforce what's currently in place and add weight to the reasons for its original provision.
Don't fix it if it isn't broken could be interesting
Feedback, questionnaires, surveys, newsletter slips, training, conferences, courses, events, help rotas, space for notes, suggestion box, open meetings, own and others knowkdege and experience of systems are all sources that enable the collection of new information - dissemination, evaluation and opportunities to examine positive and negatives can be done through staff meetings, advice, recommendations, administation time ..
A few ideas that actual integration could take may be:
Changes to written policies, procedures.
Changes to the resources and toys on offer.
Changes to routines and expectations.
Changes to partnerships, relationships, purchasing and other commitments.
Changes to the building, premises, placement and position of fixtures and fittings ..
Changes to approach and advertising of the setting
I hope this helps a little, if you find any more statements that help explain please add on ..
Best wishes
