Touch is unavoidable when working with young children and is essential within the early years to ensure children are safe and supported. Touch is a key component of healthy child development and is necessary within early years settings, so practitioners must be able to provide appropriate and beneficial touch to the children who they care for to ensure that they can flourish in later life. 

Developed by Kim Martin, consultant specialising in safeguarding and mental health training with over 15 years’ experience, this Essential CPD course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to provide appropriate touch within an early years setting.
