The role of the counselling service is to assist children and their parents (and staff) in a number of activities, including their transition to primary school. These are cross-cutting themes emerging from the literature and countries’ experiences and struggles outlined above. They are exploratory only, seeking to provide a source of inspiration when designing and revising policies and practices. Not all policy orientations will be relevant for all countries as each country needs to take into account their context (values, traditions, characteristics of ECEC and education systems) and their policy priorities. Many jurisdictions have implemented initiatives to take into account children’s voices and to make them active participants in their own transition.
