Early Years Resilience Development Pack ‘7 Days, Many Ways: Developing Resilience Through Relationships’

RDP

nasen is delighted to announce that we have secured further funding from the DfE to extend our work on the Early Years Resilience Development Pack for parents and practitioners.

 
The 58-page resource has been popular with parents and practitioners as it is useful for supporting all young children, but particularly those with SEND, in these challenging and uncertain times. 

Over the next few weeks, we will be producing some brand-new materials to support the use of the pack, as well as creating 12 new webcasts which will be freely accessible via the nasen website. We have also scheduled 8 new webinars for practitioners to support their use of the pack within their Early Years settings. 

The first 90- minute webinar on the 12th of March will be an introduction to the development of resilience and gives a full overview of the pack and how to use it to gain the best possible outcomes for children. 

The following 7 webinars will then focus on one day of the week and re-visit the suggested activities in more depth. Find out more about ‘Movement Mondays’, ‘Turn-taking Tuesdays’, ‘Well-being Wednesdays’, ‘Thoughtful Thursdays’ and ‘First Time Friday’s’. There will also be an opportunity to put any questions you may have to its author, Julie Revels, who will be delivering each webinar. 

And if you have already had the chance to use the pack in your setting, feel free to attend one of the sessions and share your experiences with us!
