Introduce
It’s important to have a clear understanding of your role and responsibilities when working in an early years setting. This means knowing what your specific duties are, how your role connects with others, and being aware of the legal and ethical guidelines that shape your work. Having this clarity makes it easier to work together effectively and provide the best support for children and families.
