Abstract

This staff survey among over 1,000 professionals across ten European countries revealed interesting and relevant information on three core topics: i) cultural and linguistic beliefs, practices and organizational policies, ii) relations with parents and other stakeholders, and iii) staff’s work environment. A wide range of professionals were involved, including teachers, specialists, managers and social and family workers, working in a variety of settings, such as early childhood education and care (ECEC), formal education, after-school care and the social work sector. The main findings will be discussed in the following sections.
