Podcasts for families
Learning every day in every way through play is a five-part podcast series targeted at families, with a focus on how learning happens at home. The Early Learning team talk about how families can support children’s learning during play and everyday routines.
Safe travel
Parents and carers are responsible for their child's safety on the way to and from school.
Parents and carers can reinforce what their children learn at school by planning and using safe school travel routes, modelling how to be a safe road user and always following road rules. Young children, in particular, require active supervision by an adult whenever they are in a traffic environment.
