This webinar provides a platform for discussing the identity of the early childhood workforce and how this impacts on early childhood policies and practices and the recognition of the early childhood profession.
- How can public policy reflect the science and common understanding of early childhood development needs across the diverse sectors working with young children and their families?
- Is there a role for shared fundamental standards and training to promote coherence in the delivery of early childhood services?
- How can pre-service and in-service training help bridge the gap created by a diverse but often fragmented ECD workforce?
- What links can be established across different sectors to foster a cohesive approach to working with young children and their families?
- Is the workplace environment supportive of different types of ECD workers?
- How can public policy be more supportive in strengthening the identity of the ECD workforce and build upon the richness of its diversity?
The event brings together key actors from across the world who are working in the field of early childhood development (ECD), with a focus on the ECD workforce.
