Explore the powerful role that belonging and mattering play in wellbeing, behaviour, learning and relationships.
Through four expert-led recordings, reflective activities and practical resources, you'll explore these concepts in greater depth and develop strategies that can be applied within your own setting.
When children feel they belong and that they matter, they are more likely to engage, learn and develop positive relationships. This course explores why feeling valued, connected and significant is fundamental to positive outcomes for children and young people.
Drawing on current research and practical approaches, you'll examine how belonging and mattering can be influenced by everyday interactions, relationships and the wider culture of a setting.
You'll be encouraged to reflect on the experiences of children and young people in your setting and consider how inclusive practices can help create environments where every child feels seen, heard, valued and connected.
