A key Principle of the Early Years Learning Framework is ‘Partnerships’. The descriptor states that ‘learning outcomes are most likely to be achieved when early childhood educators work in partnership with families’ (EYLF V2.0 P.14). This workshop explores questions such as:

How do we build the trust needed for true partnerships?

What enables us to ‘see’ and understand from the perspective of families?

How do insights from families help us to support children’s learning, development, and wellbeing?
