Guidance for the Key Person: Building Secure Relationships to Help Children Thrive | Early Years

Webinar Duration: 1 hour 2 minutes (approx.)

This webinar will provide headteachers, managers, teachers and practitioners in early years settings with expert insight into the role of the key person in establishing strong, warm and supportive relationships with young children to enhance their emotional wellbeing and facilitate learning and development.

The Early years foundation stage (EYFS) statutory framework highlights the importance of the key person in helping “to ensure that every child’s care is tailored to meet their individual needs … to help the child become familiar with the setting, offer a settled relationship for the child and build a relationship with their parents”.

In this webinar, Sue Asquith, award-winning, international early childhood consultant with experience as speaker and author, explores the role and responsibilities of the key person in early years settings, and identifies ways to make the most of opportunities to help young children grow and thrive.
