The Early Childhood Forum (ECF), brings together national organisations and professional associations in the early childhood sector for all young children from birth to seven. ECF exists to promote inclusion, challenge inequalities, debate issues, celebrate differences and develop consensus to champion high quality experiences for young children and their families.
Wendy Scott on behalf of TACTYC has published a comprehensive bibliography of relevant childhood research underpinning a high quality early years curriculum and inspection regime.
