Giving every child the best start in life is crucial to reducing health inequalities across the life course. The foundations for virtually every aspect of human development – physical, intellectual and emotional– are laid in early childhood.

When given the appropriate resources, a child’s imagination has no limits. This bitesize CPD session includes a step by step guide on how to introduce Loose Parts to spark children’s imagination and creativity.

This short bite size session is designed for both newly qualified teachers working in schools and experienced teachers who are new to working in the early years.

This duty is known as the Prevent Duty.
