This session with Dr Claire Warden offers leaders and educators an opportunity to explore how the Floorbook® Approach can meaningfully strengthen quality across a service. Rather than viewing improvement as a compliance task, Claire positions quality as something lived through relationships, inquiry and shared authorship. Drawing on examples from practice, she will unpack how the Floorbook® Approach supports thoughtful decision-making, deep listening and collaborative learning cultures, all key conditions for ongoing quality growth. Participants will consider how concept-led inquiry, educator positioning and collective documentation can inform their Quality Improvement Plan in authentic and evidence-rich ways. The session invites leaders to reflect on how they shape the conditions in which inquiry thrives and how pedagogical thinking can guide improvement pathways. Whether you are at the beginning of your quality journey or seeking to deepen existing work, this webinar offers a purposeful and inspiring lens for strengthening quality through inquiry.

What you will gain from this session:

• A deeper insight into how the Floorbook® Approach can strengthen quality across a centre
• Practical strategies for using inquiry, authorship and collective documentation as evidence within quality Improvement planning
• Practical examples evidencing how leadership positioning, decision making and reflective culture share improvement pathways.
