International Day of Families celebrates the importance of families in society. It highlights the vital role families play in nurturing individuals and communities, promoting social cohesion, and contributing to overall well-being. Families come in all shapes and sizes, encompassing various cultural backgrounds, traditions, and structures. International Day of Families is a time to celebrate this diversity and recognise that the essence of family extends beyond biological ties.

Are you aware of each family’s goals for their child and are you working towards these together?

 

How are differences between a family’s child rearing practices and the service’s policies respected?
