B4 and its members are building tools and resources to support everyone to take action under one or more of the B4 objectives and support children in the early years.
Every person in Tasmania has a part to play in helping Tasmanian children to reach their potential. Every action matters – big or small- because when everyone contributes, everyone benefits. By recognising the importance of the early years and their lasting influence, we can take action together to give Tasmania children the best start to life.
If you have a tool or resource that you would like to share, please contact B4 at b4@decyp.tas.gov.au or 03 6165 5666.
