Janet Rose

Prior to that she was a Senior Lecturer and the Award Leader for Early Childhood Education at Bath Spa University. She has over 20 years' experience of working in early years both in England and internationally.

In addition to her academic career, Janet has worked as a specialist early years teacher and for several local authorities developing training programmes for supporting young children. She also ran her own business providing workshops for parents, babies and toddlers. She has published numerous peer reviewed articles and writes regularly for the Early Years Foundation Stage Forum. She has co-written a book on The Role of the Adult in Early Years Settings and has also published a book on Health and Well-being in the Early Years.

Janet led a research project that implemented a community-wide, cross-disciplinary approach to promoting children's resilience and well-being, and another which has developed a comprehensive programme of support for children affected by early attachment difficulties, trauma and neglect. These projects incorporate the adoption of Emotion Coaching which is a evidence-based strategy for supporting children's capacity for pro-social behaviour and emotional self-regulation.
