Integration in Practice: The Report of a National Study to Identify Common Areas of Quality in Early Years and Childcare

This report comes from a study to identify and audit materials used as a basis for integrated practice to support the learning of children from 0-14 years of age. A working list of 69 common quality areas emerged from the national and local audits.

Organised under eight principles: community partnership, documentation, equal opportunities, learning and teaching, developing citizenship, environment, health and well-being, staffing and professional development, the 69 common quality areas are explained and illustrated with examples.
