This webinar will provide headteachers, managers, teachers and practitioners with advice and practical guidance on overcoming the disadvantage gap which has particularly impacted young children in early years as a result of the pandemic.

Research into the implications of COVID for Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) has found that more children from ethnic minority and disadvantaged backgrounds have missed out on formal early education, which has only served to widen the gap between these young children and their peers in terms of learning and development.

In this webinar, Sue Asquith, award-winning, international early childhood consultant with experience as speaker and author, explains what the disadvantage gap is, how it has affected some young learners and actions schools can take to bridge it, including support available from government.
