Hi, this thread is in the level 4 forum - integrating new information

Try looking at this knowledge as knowing that one teeny tiny piece of new information has the potential to challenge everything you know and everything that you do, in your setting and your own professional practice.

Within your setting, you know what the aims and aspirations are - what you hope your setting provides for childrens care, learning & progressive development, parents, families and community

This is what you could call your setting's best practice, its how all the requirements, obligations, expectations and forward thinking is put into place.

A few ideas that could help identify times you have experience of ..
Has an inspection or a visit by someone/group suggested new or alternative ways of doing something - ofsted, fire officer, parent?
What was the information and what did you do with information, was it new, had you considered it before, can it be used to better what you already do, if yes how, if no why.

New research, government campaigns and initiatives can highlight what you do in practice .. does any new information you recieve help improve your provision? healthy eating, milk, water, fruit, veg, resting areas, outdoor play, gender, cultural resources, family units, the settings ability to support - parents, children, staff, disability, community, behavioural approaches & understanding?
