This month’s instalments provide a revised Safe Sleep CPD bundle that has been adapted to reflect Government guidance and expectations of a revised EYFS 2026. We have also included a link to download some excellent evidence base safe sleep factsheets produced by the Lullaby Trust.

Our latest Safeguarding Conversation is once again with expert trainer Catherine Lawler. She talks with Rachel about how DSL’s can recognise and support adult and young adult victims of domestic abuse who work in early years settings. Catherine refers to the Governments recently published strategy to address violence against women and girls (VAWG) and a link to this has been added to the Safeguarding and Child Protection section on the dashboard.

We have a new date for DSLs to join us online for the latest updates which will take place on Tuesday the 22nd of September 7.00pm – 8.00pm. You can register for this session in the Learning Community section on the dashboard.
