What a fantastic day in Cardiff yesterday for the Children's Rights in Early Years Network conference hosted by @childreninwales.org.uk and run by our co-i @drtyrie.bsky.social and Anna Westall.
The whole day was wonderful, leaving much to reflect on and be inspired by.
Some highlights....

βWhy is there such a gap between the policy and the practice of childrenβs participation in decision making?β
This blog on 'childism' asks this question...an interesting read, what are your thoughts?

What a busy and exciting week so far with our visitors from Ecuador, planning future research and writing papers around child agency and self determination. Then today some fascinating talks from our visiting colleagues as part of #CenPrac @swanseauni.bsky.social centre for research into practice.

Inspired by the keynote at #BECERA2025 by @lauralundy.bsky.social. A really interesting talk with attention to the #humanright of dignity.
It triggered my ongoing thoughts around the issue of young childrens 'awareness' of the right to be heard, and the gap between this (5-7yr) and adult experiences
Hearing from @chrispascal.bsky.social at #BECERA2025. Looking forward to the day hearing from passionate early years researchers and practitioners. @childpart.bsky.social
