Let's Talk: The Crisis in the Early Childhood Sector

Join Abigail Boyd Greens MLC, Chey Carter (founder of Divergent Education) and Evan Grey (United Services Union educator and delegate) as they discuss what’s gone wrong in the early childhood sector, how it got like this, and how we can work to fix it together.

The early childhood education and care sector should be about developing and nurturing young people, helping to socialise and educate them at this developmentally important age. But what should be a sector and profession that puts the rights, dignity and potential of children at its centre has become corrupted by big business and shonky operators growing fat on a steady stream of government subsidies, leading to corners being cut and workers being undervalued – endangering child safety.

Over the last year Abigail has been working hard alongside workers, whistleblowers and investigative journalists to expose the terrible issues and dangerous practices lurking below the surface in this increasingly corporatised sector.
