Pre Birth to Three
“The right of all young children to high quality relationships, environments and services which offer a holistic approach to meeting their needs. Such needs should be interpreted broadly and encompass play, learning, social relationships and emotional and physical wellbeing.” (Scottish Government, 2009)
Glasgow City Councils aim is that all services to children and families, during the earliest years of a child’s life, are committed to ensuring that all children have the best possible start to life. Every child has the right to a positive start where they can be nurtured to develop.
Four Key principals
· The rights of the child
· Respect
· Responsive Care
· Relationships
These are the four principles which form the basis of this guidance. All staff working with babies and young children should be aware that these key principles are interrelated and independent.
