Notes from the podcast
Next 12 months will be about repair and restore, so wellbeing will be very high on the list, as will safeguarding.
Top 5 areas to focus on are:
Wellbeing
Sonia Mainstone Cotton – lots of great books; Dr Mine Conkbayir and neuroscience can help us understand what trauma does to the brain
Resilience
Annie Davy Routes to Resilience, Julie Revels risk factors, Dr Louise Mansell (psychologist)
Safeguarding
Rachel Buckler, Ann Marie Christian, Susan Taylor all Early Years specialists
Continue to make the most of the outdoors
Prof Jan White and Early Childhood Outdoors which I’m delighted to be collaborating with;
Staff Morale and team building
Shana Laffy, Sandi Phoenix
Three main developments for 2021:
Global – learn direct from Scandinavia on Forest schools or Pikler approach from Hungary, Reggio Emilia in Italy, Te Whakiri in New Zealand
More specialist providers and niche training because you now have a global audience
Quality of training, so rather than just sit and watch, have groups working together online, peer mentoring, mixture of input and live interactions
