Here the Beckies talk about The New Year, what is happening now and  where we are at, what has been difficult and our hopes and thoughts for the future.
To be honest  we really mean from March 2020 to now! 
Becky has  being trying to master being a virtual speech and language therapist,  she feels very supported by the NHS in her arena. Parents have still accessed virtual support and  created new understanding together with their children .  Becs has also safely conducted face to face appointments, with all the right equipment to protect her.
The Beckies also discuss how Early Years have literally not stopped and the level of support for professional protection is just not the same . Early Years are working with children everyday and  quality interactions are what really matter.  We believe whatever you have chosen to do in Early Years you are brave and amazing professionals.  We believe you must have a fair choice in whatever this decision is. We strive for fair funding for Early Years!
Becky talks about her role as the fulltime Early Years Lead for Thriving Language.  
We chat about our podcasts and  the immense joy of be able to connecting virtually with so many inspiring people.    We still cant wait to see you face to face, in person again but for now we will find the best from what we can  do and continue to connect and support with positivity.  
We are here to continue to grow and support our amazing Thriving Early Years Community.
Respect and support for everyone who not only needs it but also deserves it!
