This term, we’ve got our Annual General Meeting (AGM) with some wonderful guest speakers: author of the children’s book ‘Why Does Mum Wear A Hijab?’ and other titles, Amal Abou-Eid is joining us along with Associate Professor Brigid Jordan AM and Dr Anne Kennedy to talk about their work with Parkville Institute – Changing children’s life trajectories: Research, evidence and practice.

In this newsletter we highlight just a few from the range of new resources in the MRC for you to borrow to support inclusion, social and emotional wellbeing in your service. We highlight some of the happenings for the sector and we dig a little on using labels for multilingual families in early childhood.
