Description

The Early Childhood Sector faces many challenges today. Sector-wide pressures and policy changes mean settings are struggling with many issues including funding, retention and recruitment of staff.

As change looms, this new book takes the opportunity to explore what could be possible. It draws together expertise and experience from across many sectors, including education, health, and social work to explore what Early Childhood provision could look like, if we got it right.

What do Early Childhood experts recommend?
What is genuine, unconstrained good practice?
What do we want for our children, families, and colleagues in the sector?

This hopeful book looks forwards to what could be possible. It is A Manifesto for Early Childhood.
