Irish and international research indicates that neighbourhood safety has an impact on levels of outdoor play in young children. We recently analysed data from the Growing Up in Ireland study and found that more children engage in daily outdoor activities, such as games of chasing, bike riding or playing with a ball, in neighbourhoods parents think are safe for children than in neighbourhoods parents don’t think are safe.Item type: Item , A hop, skip and a jump to school! (Pre-published version)(Early Childhood Ireland, 2018) Egan, Suzanne M.; Pope, JenniferAs we come towards the end of the preschool year, parents may now be focused on the summer holidays and making the transition to primary school. Parents may be asking you what they should be doing over the summer to prepare their children for school. Based on our research, our advice is to encourage them to get their children outside to play, to climb and enjoy the outdoors…Item type: Item , Early years educators ‘your well-being matters’ too! (Pre-published version)(Early Childhood Ireland, 2017) Pope, JenniferAs summer approaches, consider the advice they give on the plane before take-off…’In an emergency, put your own life-jacket and mask on first before you attend to your children’. In our day to day work we are usually told to start with the child and be child-centred but when it comes to our health and well-being, we actually need to look to ourselves first. Children’s health and well-being is strongly related to the well-being of those around them, their parents, families, local communities and also those who work closely with them each day in early childhood settings. Your well-being matters to young children.Item type: Item , Paper based upon the PLÉ submission to the consultation on the DES statement of strategy 2016 – 2018(2016) Moloney, Mary; Pettersen, JanItem type: Item , Progression or regression.

I believe to ensure we remain responsive to learners we have to listen and respond to what children have to say about the world around them. My particular concern is for the voices of young children and children with autism to be heard.
