EYFS REVIEW: Second consultation deadline is nearing

The early years sector has only until 19 January to respond to the Department for Education's second consultation on proposed changes to some of the learning and development requirements in the EYFS.

Launched just before Christmas, the month-long consultation asks for views to revisions made to some of the early learning goals, which have been drawn up following feedback from more than 2,300 responses to the revised draft of the EYFS framework.

Alongside the consultation, the department has also published a formal Government response to the EYFS, Reforming the Early Years Foundation Stage, which includes a detailed breakdown showing the number of responses agreeing or disagreeing with the questions set out in the Government's consultation on plans for the revised EYFS.

It includes all areas under review, including learning and development, assessment, and safeguarding and welfare (see box).
