Positive Relationships: Policies - Focus on family

A set of early years briefing papers for political parties ahead of
the next general election has 'parents and families' among its
themes.

Produced by TACTYC (the Association for the Professional Development of Early Years Educators) and the early years section of BERA (the British Educational Research Association)the papers also cover play, pedagogy, professionalism, assessment, school readiness. Here is an extract from the parents and families section.

PARENTS AND FAMILIES

Immediate concerns

- Develop professional development opportunities for all graduate practitioners working with children aged birth to six, so that they are better able to lead practice that supports and empowers parents and families from different backgrounds.

- In particular, identify ways to support key persons working with two-year-olds, so that they are better able to carry out the two-year-old progress check and share it with parents and health visitors.
