Active Supervision
​ In-House Workshop

Early Childhood Supervision Workshop

Refresh your team's skills to supervise adequately & actively

This workshop is one of our most popular and for good reason.  Supervising children takes practice, requires vigilance and it's easy to become complacent. During this workshop we revisit the basics of supervision, look at the role of the environment and explore how children's agency can be promoted whilst supervising.

"At all times, reasonable precautions and adequate supervision ensure children are protected from harm and hazard."  NQS 2.1.1
