Stronger Practice Hub Event
Join us for a conversation about Babies’ Rights.
What do we mean by babies’ rights? Why is it so important to consider babies’ rights in COVID recovery?
Join us to hear more about the Baby Room project, how this triggered a wealth of work in Bristol about Babies’ Rights, and how you can embed the guidance and make a difference in your setting. There will be opportunities to pose questions to the panel and this session will be recorded.
The Panel
There will be opportunities to pose questions to the panel which includes, amongst others: Sacha Powell and Rachel Pirie.

She is passionate about attachment theory, relationship led practice, inclusive practice, safeguarding and sustainability.
Rachel Pirie
Rachel has been a specialist leader for birth to three-year-olds in Bristol for 10 years.
“I have always had a fascination for babies; observing them persisting with new skills, figuring things out in their unique ways and how they communicate and build relationships.”
Rachel researched baby room provision in Bristol and was part of a diverse group of experts who developed the Rights of the Baby in early years’ settings. In 2017, they presented their findings at the Christchurch Canterbury Baby Conference and were included in an article on baby rooms in Nursery World.
Rachel established baby room networks in Bristol, inspired many baby room practitioners to join her reflective thinking and has developed baby specific CPD for Bristol. Read more about the Bristol Baby Rights journey.
Others will join the panel from settings in Bristol, to say how they have implemented the baby rights guidance and what impact this has had on their provision and babies.
Open to all in our SPH region.
This session is part of the SPH Babies Network events.
