Embedding Empowerment and Participation in Early Childhood Education
Creating environments where children feel safe, valued, and heard is essential to quality early childhood education and care (ECEC).
A guide from the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian, The Empowerment and Participation, offers practical tools and frameworks to help services embed child-safe principles that strengthen children’s agency and voice.
Empowerment is more than giving children choices. It involves enabling them to express themselves, ask questions, and understand their rights.
For early childhood educators, this means creating spaces where children are listened to, respected, and actively involved in decisions that affect them.
In ECEC settings, this includes age-appropriate discussions about safety, relationships, and consent, supported by warm, trusting relationships with educators.
Author's summary: Empowering children in ECEC settings is crucial for their wellbeing and safety.
