From time to time KPV convenes seminars for the early childhood sector - children's services managers, early childhood practitioners, voluntary committees of management, cluster managers, local government and the broader community sector.
National Quality Framework Seminars
KPV is running several three part seminars on the National Quality Standards. Explore the National Quality Framework (NQF) and the impact it will have on your service. Understand your requirements and responsibilities as an early childhood service provider.
Sessions will be facilitated by industry experts such as Dr. Anne Kennedy and Nicole Pilsworth as well as KPV advisers, to ensure the knowledge you gain can be taken back to your service and practically implemented.

Universal Access: one step at a time (September 2010)
The day began with the evidentiary basis that supports the importance of a quality early years education. With this backdrop, participants heard from three services that have planned and/or begun implementation of 15 hours. Active workshops allowed colleagues and peers to work together to discuss issues and concerns for their service. Feedback on the day was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you to our presenters and facilitators for a fantastic day. Below are handouts made available from our presenters.
