The ECA position statement review process

Early Childhood Australia is committed to an ongoing process of review in order to ensure that we provide quality, relevant, and timely information to our members.
As part of this work, the ECA National Council has commissioned a working party to review the current range of ECA policies. The working party, made up of members from all state/territory branches, will assess each policy according to their relevance, their usefulness to members, and their capacity to assist in effective advocacy for young children.
The position statements will be reflective of the vision of the organisation and our mandate to be a voice for children.
| A function of our advocacy work... |

Early Childhood Australia develops position statements on a range of early childhood issues.
These position statements provide a framework for much of Early Childhood Australia's advocacy work, and support good early childhood practice for those who work with and for young children.
Early Childhood Australia position statements emerge from consultation with members in all state and territory branches, and are debated and ratified at the annual meeting of National Council.
