In our team meeting today, we explored the reasons why children remaining in or being reintegrated back into mainstream education is so important. We know that children are too often impacted by the lack of a national approach to alternative provisions and that the longer they are out of education the harder it can be for them to return to an educational environment. It’s really important that teams working with children have a clear picture of their local arrangements and know how to advocate and support those who are at risk of losing their mainstream placement. #education #childfirst #advocacy #buckinghamshire #youthjustice

Things are more fluid in the UK Government currently so it's the best time to impact change. In early years we can make the most of this time by: ➡ Responding to consultations ➡ Actively reaching out to MP's to share your vision ➡ Sharing your views with organisations and media ➡ Sharing your work with parents and bringing them along the advocacy journey It was refreshing to hear from Donna Mooney in our discussion that there are a lot of things that can be done, which are also not too 'out there', in terms of advocating for the early years. What else can we be doing right now to ensure that the coming changes are the changes we want to see? #ChangingGovernment #Education #Teaching #Advocacy #Politics #LobbyingGovernment #Change #Lobbying #Advocating #Labour #NewGovernment #EYFS #EarlyYears #EarlyChildhood #TVOEC #Educator #Teacher
