(Photograph) - Cherie Booth QC talks to April, a pupil at High Close School, Wokingham, Berkshire, in her capacity as the new president of Barnardo's. The school caters for children and young people from London and the south-east who have been excluded from mainstream education. On her visit last week Ms Booth promised to be 'an active, involved president' and to help raise the profile of Barnardo's work with more than 50,000 disadvantaged children, young people and their families throughout the UK. Roger Singleton, the charity's chief executive, welcomed Ms Booth's 'deep concern for the needs of troubled and vulnerable children and a commitment to positive action to ensure them a better future'. Ms Booth said, 'We all recognise that no child should grow up in poverty or in fear of abuse. No parent should have to raise their children in an atmosphere of constant despair. That is why I recognise and welcome the crucial role which Barnardo's plays.' Past presidents included Diana, Princess of Wales, from 1984 to 1996 and Princess Margaret, from 1947 to 1984.

Drop-in centres for advice and information and affordable, accessible leisure facilities for all children were the two key requests when Children in Scotland asked, 'What do we want to ask the Parliament to do for children, young people and their families during the next term of the Scottish Parliament?' More than 1,000 children and young people from across Scotland replied to the questionnaire about the issues most pressing to them. The five key topics addressed were schools, leisure, crime and safety, families and health. Launching Children in Scotland's manifesto for the next Scottish parliamentary elections, chief executive Bronwen Cohen said, 'Improving provision for children and young people should not just be an abstract aspiration for politicians, but should translate into the kind of services children and young people themselves want to see on the ground.'

Workforce development is, quite rightly, identified as a key element of reform in the Children Act and Childcare Bill. Bold choices must be made if the long-term aspiration of a valued and high-status workforce for children is to be achieved. Increasing access to the workforce by simplifying qualification requirements and relaxing regulation for those working with school-age children is one option. However, evidence shows that while this may bring some short-term recruitment gains, in the long term it could lower standards and limit opportunities for children and parents alike. As the Government considers the Childcare Bill and local authorities draw up their children's workforce strategies, maintaining quality is crucial.
