Starcatchers are working in partnership with Glasgow City Council Early Years Team to run a series of sessions around the consultation project Understanding the experience of birth-2s within Early Learning and Childcare. We want to create a community of practice where the Voice of babies and young children help shape ELC practice and strategy.  

Academic researchers Dr.Rachel Drury and Dr. Cara Blaisdell who developed Starcatchers’ Voice of the Baby research will be working with artists, settings and families to explore this question. Starcatchers artists Claire Rucket, Sam Jameson and Brian Hartley are delivering three phases of creative consultation sessions in ELC settings in Glasgow. These sessions will share learning updates from the project, explore self-reflection tools developed during this work, and support practitioners to share best practice with their peers.
