How can educators and other professionals work together to overcome the barriers that are complicating their work, contributing to their stress and keeping the ECEC profession down?

Conference organisers say:With an increased focus on the early years, our profession is on the door step of significant change. We are knocking on the door and about to enter into a time and space where we can achieve ownership over our own professional futures. Our voices are getting stronger and our profession is on the brink of attaining greater professional recognition with the capacity to speak with influence.
