The theme of our Early Years Conference on 9 November is Reflect and renew - translating theory into practice.
Join us at this Early Years Conference and be inspired by thought leaders as we promote the well-being of children and families by advancing collaboration and evidence-based practice.
A child whose fifth birthday fell in the summer of 2021 will have experienced more than a quarter of their life in the shadow of COVID-19. This conference highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young children’s cognitive (including language), physical, social and emotional development and in this context, uses research and evidence to help us re-think and inform our practice.
We have brought together an exciting programme of Early Years experts and professionals to cover a wide range of important topics, providing a platform to reflect multiple perspectives to improve early childhood development that enables every child to reach their full potential.
This is the event where we move away from ideology, trend and whim and are brought together by harnessing sound evidence provided by neuroscience, translating this into great, achievable practice. Massive societal changes such as we’ve experienced over the last three years are a chance to reshape the way we do things as Early Years practitioners and leaders.
