This course provides a solid, practical grounding for practitioners in a wide range of early years settings – including home-based carers and classroom/teaching assistants specialising in early years.
You’ll develop your critical understanding of early years practice and frameworks from ethical, social, legal, and political perspectives; and gain the knowledge and skills needed to work collaboratively and equitably within an integrated, interdisciplinary workforce.
