This year’s Annual National Conference focuses on the impact of poverty on young children and how early childhood education can mitigate against its effects. Professor Tess Ridge will share her research which focuses on the voices of children themselves and what poverty means for them. Dr Suzanne Zeedyk will discuss the importance of relationships in building resilience, and the barriers which often prevent those relationships being formed in practice. Dr Sara Baker will share research evidence about the importance of playfulness in cognitive development. Andrea Layzell and Sharon Hogan will help delegates reflect on the implications of all this for practice and workforce development.
