Free resource pack – Second edition (June 2008 - England)
Developed with help from the DCSF, this resource pack takes you through the steps to set up an OwnZone club and keep it going. It covers a wide range of issues including: staffing, establishing partnerships, marketing and funding.

Important: OwnZone was initially written to provide guidance on how to combine delivery of the 'varied menu of activities' and 'childcare' (for 11-14 year olds) elements of the core offer of extended services in and around schools. Childcare is no longer a requirement of the core offer for those aged 11-14 years. However, the models of delivery contained within OwnZone continue to provide a framework from which you can meet the new requirement of providing a 'safe place' for young people aged 11-14 years to be outside of normal lesson time. OwnZone's approach to having a range of supervised spaces, such as the ChillZone and the SkillZone provides a tried and tested base on which to build. In light of these changes some of the information within the guide relating to Ofsted registration, charging and working tax credit are now out-of-date. Please contact the extended services (schools) manager (co-ordinator) in your local authority to find out the latest developments in helping to fund and support the sustainability of your programme.
