Here the Beckies, talk about the current situation in early years and PPE.
Becs talks about her training for PPE in her Speech and Language role.
The discussion is around what children think about PPE, preparation and communication is key. Using social stories, using the everyday life experiences of children.
We have to accept that there are times when we may dress or look a bit different for now however we will still be carrying out our professional roles in the same way. Adaptability is a key skill for children to develop. 
Discover more about quality interactions and wearing masks, will natural communication still thrive?
What happens when the child cannot see your mouth ?  Have a listen and discover how to continually practice well and keep yourself and your team safe.
This is a moment in history that brings with it a strong teaching element for a generation of children, we need to trust our professionalism and the children to move forward.
Speech and Language will still develop if you wear face masks find out how we just need to look at this from a different view point, embrace where we are right now with the children.
The educational workforce is worth protecting, to teach well your own welfare must come first.
