We are one of five museum orgs from across the UK working with @Earlychildhood to explore how we amplify the new #ShapingUs Framework, launched by @KensingtonRoyal, in our museums. The goal is to support the social & emotional development of thousands of children in our society.
Today, we are delighted to announce the publication of The Shaping Us Framework to help give social and emotional skills the greater priority they deserve, to support The Princess of Wales’ mission of creating a happier, healthier society. #ShapingUs
