In this webcast, we will look at the importance of understanding the wider world of the child and family, including culture, language and economic circumstances.

Some questions/ideas to think about while you listen/read:

What experience do you have of different cultures, both personally and in your setting?

What impact do you think living in poverty might have on families?

Try and imagine the impact a diagnosis of disability might have on your family; if you already have this experience, bring it to mind

How might speaking more than one language affect children’s development?
