The Scottish Executive has commissioned Professor Colwyn Trevarthen, professor of child psychology at the University of Edinburgh, to lead a team of academics carrying out a review into what makes a quality care and learning experience for children aged under three. The study was due to be completed by the end of January and Professor Trevarthen's team will be exchanging information with a team at Manchester Metropolitan University, who have been commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills to investigate good practice with under-threes. This study is one of several discussed in Early Years' Matters, the new newsletter from Learning and Teaching Scotland, which is available online at http://www.ltscotland. com/earlyyears/eymatters/ and aims to keep practitioners informed about the most recent early years developments in Scotland.

Mistrust of men

I am a male nursery nurse and I was disgusted by Stephen Taw's comments in his letter ('Limits on men', 20 February). Equal opportunities means exactly that - to provide equal opportunity to all. If a man cannot perform the same duties as a woman, what message will that send out to adults, let alone to children? It is a sad fact that some men abuse children, but I understand that in around 5 to 10 per cent of cases the child abuse is by a woman.

NASUWT merger with ATL and NUT?

One of the leading unions that includes classroom assistants among its members, the NASUWT, is exploring the possibility of merging with the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) and National Union of Teachers (NUT). The union's National Executive has agreed to send out a paper putting this option forward from general secretary designate Eamonn O'Kane to members. Mr O'Kane said many of his colleagues had 'serious reservations about discussion of possible mergers' - but added that they had shown 'their innate democratic instinct in agreeing to allow this important issue to go forward for debate among the members.'

Facts on fostering

    News

I am dismayed at the comments made by Sue Seabrook of the Children's Society ('Home to stay', 30 January). As a local authority foster carer and registered community childminder working for social services, I am astounded that a professional within the adoption and fostering services could make such a sweeping statement about foster care. Nationally we are more than 8,000 foster carers short, meaning that many children who would be best served by living in a family environment are being denied the opportunity to experience 'normal' family life. The Fostering Network recently surveyed local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales, and its figures suggest that 66 per cent of responding authorities are paying at or below the Fostering Network's minimum recommended weekly allowances. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to guess who is making up the shortfall - the foster carers!
