Empowering the Children and Young People's Workforce

This core text book outlines the key themes, ideas, concepts and topics that early years practitioners need to be familiar with in order to become the skilled, reflective childcarers that an ever-changing sector demands.

Clearly divided into four sections - the practitioner, the learner, the workplace and the community - it aims to help students develop the professional knowledge and practical skills that they need to work effectively with children and young people.

The book is supported by a free companion website featuring case studies, reflective tasks and activities, tables and figures.
