About this event

The Government’s Prevent Strategy talks about British Values and asks all educational establishments, including early years to be teaching these values, but what does this mean for early years practitioners, and what are Ofsted looking for?

This session aims to give practitioners an understanding of the Prevent Strategy and the requirement to teach ‘British Values’. We will consider the ways in which these values reflect those already embedded in early years and identify current examples of good practice. We will also explore ways to further develop the teaching of values in order to better support the Prevent Strategy, meet the requirements of Ofsted and achieve better outcomes for children.

Standard Cost 32 + VAT

For: All Early Years Practitioners working in PVI early years settings / school ran or governor led nurseries
