Learn – Explore – Debate

The early years sector has played a crucial role in the country's response to Covid-19 and we know that the wellbeing of staff and children is your top priority during this challenging time.

The National Children’s Bureau recently hosted five free Learn – Explore – Debate events focused on putting wellbeing at the heart of early years practice.  The events brought early years practitioners, local authorities, consultants and academics together with officials from the Department for Education and Ofsted to discuss practical ways to support the wellbeing of children and staff.

The recordings, slides and case studies from the events, including a video from the Department for Education, thanking the early years sector for their work, are now available to view on the Foundation Years website.

Once you have watched the presentations, you can take some time by yourself or with colleagues to reflect on your practice with the discussion prompts used in the breakout rooms at the events.
