Social and Emotional Aspects of Development
(SEAD) aims to:
- Improve children’s personal, social and emotional development
(PSED) so that, as they progress from birth to five, they are able
to interact effectively and have positive dispositions and
attitudes to learning.
- Increase practitioner knowledge and understanding so that,
working with and engaging parents / carers, they are able to
support children’s social and emotional development.
SEAD is a national initiative introduced in 2008.

Children must be provided with experiences and support that
will help them to develop a positive sense of themselves and of
others: respect for others; social skills; and a positive
disposition to learn. Providers must ensure support for children’s
emotional well-being to help them know themselves and what they can
do
