You can practice recording observations of children’s development in this free learning resource from the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and earn Open Badges along the way.
In the Observing children resource we take a look at seven everyday situations that you might see at any time in your work. These occasions can be short-lived and in a busy day easily lost among other events that take more of your time and attention.
Collect all seven of the badges below to achieve this one.
