“I’m not sure sustained, meaningful change is possible without addressing and thinking about mindsets” – Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO FrameWorks Institute
In this episode of SNAICC Yarns, Executive Director of Communications, Mandy Taylor, yarns with Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO of FrameWorks Institute, about how mindsets shape the way Australians understand early education and care, and why shifting these beliefs matters for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities.
The conversation looks at mindset work more broadly: how shared beliefs, assumptions and dominant narratives shape the way people understand an issue, what solutions they see as possible, and where they believe responsibility lies. Mandy and Nat discuss how language and strategic communications can build public understanding, strengthen support for policy reform and help avoid deficit-based or “othering” narratives that limit meaningful change.
The episode also previews emerging findings from FrameWorks and SNAICC’s mindsets work, including the importance of activating collective responsibility and developing practical tools for organisations working with children, families and communities. It reminds us that the way we communicate can be a powerful tool for change, leading to more effective advocacy, smarter reform and better outcomes for children.
