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 I’ve 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. Join me as we discuss what’s gone wrong, how it got like this, and how we can work to fix it together.

Guest speakers to be announced soon.
