As a leader in the field of early learning and childhood development, Professor Peter Moss will critically reflect on the day’s discussions and, from his extensive experience and observations contained within his book “Contesting Early Childhood…and Opening for Change”, will look at the failures in the current early years system in Scotland and paint a picture of the system our children want and need – and, most importantly, reflect on what needs to change in Scotland to get there.

This video was part of the RSE’s early years conference, which focused on placing the needs of children, their being and belonging, at the heart of early learning.
The conference took a comprehensive look at placing the needs of children at the heart of their learning, rather than focusing on early learning and childcare as a means to an economic or practical end.
