PRECI (Professionals and Researchers in Early Childhood Intervention)

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of presenting Child Agency: Increasing the impact of work with children and families to support long-term outcomes at a webinar hosted by PRECI (Professionals and Researchers in Early Childhood Intervention). It was a privilege to co-present with Kylie Matusewicz who has been a key implementation driver for child agency at Noah's Ark Australia. Her leadership has inspired me to elevate my thinking from hearing the voice of children to promoting children as informed decision-makers, upholding their human rights, and ensuring their safety. If you missed the live session, don’t worry! The recording and slides will be available soon. Stay tuned for the link.

Consultation closing soon. Have your say on the Review of Best Practice in Early Childhood Intervention by 20 September. The Department of Social Services has engaged the University of Melbourne and partner organisations, including Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA), Professionals and Researchers in Early Childhood Intervention (PRECI) and Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care (SNAICC) are reviewing best practice guidance and developing a framework, tools and resources. This will support children with developmental concerns, delay or disability to have the best possible start in life.

SURVEY EXTENDED: Now due 14th October! Strengths-based practice survey! PRECI, in collaboration with Monash University, would like to request your support in reaching new graduates or early career ECI practitioners (3 years and under) OR professionals that are training or supporting early years practitioners. The purpose of this short survey is to gather information for a community project on the best ways to deliver educational resources to early career early childhood intervention (ECI) practitioners about strengths-based practice and what content to include.  This survey will close on the 30th of September 2024. Your response is greatly appreciated and would help inform the development of resources for ECI practitioners and will ultimately benefit children and families. These will be available on the PRECI website in early 2025. https://lnkd.in/gnPVehhc

I work with some really wonderful educators who go above and beyond to care for children in #ecec, however there still is a huge gap in the understanding of neurodiversity and inclusion. A call for better understanding and support/resources to ensure best care for all children. Sharing my article published for 360info in response to the Productivity Commission’s recent inquiry into early childhood education and care.
