Hello, this is what the role of a professional early years practitioner involves. You'll learn about the responsibilities one by one so that you know and understand them thoroughly.

Your tutor and your workplace will help you do this using their own teaching materials and by you reading through copies of;

• The setting's policies and procedures (ask for copies)
• Your job description/contract/ staff handbook (ask for copies if you don't have these already)

This Early Years Educator textbook has information across the units that will help. Use the index to find corresponding pages.

Please feel free to post if you get stuck on any of them, I'm sure members will help wherever they can.

Best wishes
