This is an excellent resource and training pack to support work with young refugee children. Each section offers extensive background information, reflective accounts and discussion points, as well as references and further reading suggestions.
Part one describes how early years settings and schools can offer appropriate positive and valuable support to refugee children and their families. Superb video footage supports this through examples of good practice. Through personal reflective statements we are shown a little of the horrors of the past for the children. However, rightly, the main emphasis is on the future and the safety, empathy and trust needed to enable these children and their families to have hope of a positive future. It stresses the need to support family and community in order to allow the children to flourish.
