Transition
Transitions are a key current policy priority for the Scottish Government which is highlighted throughout Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), the Early Years Framework, Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) and Realising the Ambition (2020).
“In an ELC setting there are several transitions we expect a child to manage: from home to the setting; person to person; setting to setting; outdoors to indoors and ultimately from ELC to Primary School. It is essential that all of these are handled sensitively, inclusively, and positively.” (Dunlop 2020) Dumfries and Galloway Transition Policy for Home – Early Learning and Childcare – Primary 1 2018 (updated 2023)
