Summary
AEDC data showed higher proportions of developmental vulnerability in the physical health and wellbeing, social competence and emotional maturity domains for children in South Australia.
The key themes and future directions of the strategy were shaped by evidence-based research; experience in other jurisdictions and feedback from parents, community members, teachers and other early education and care workers; and leaders and experts in education, child development and health.
