The New Community Schools approach, which encourages the provision of integrated services focused on the needs of the child, is to be rolled out across 16 local authorities. Minister for education and children Cathy Jamieson said last week, 'I am delighted to confirm today the allocations of funding to 16 authorities to enable them to go ahead with this important work. We are still looking at the proposals we have received from the remaining authorities and we expect to come to our decisions on them within the next few weeks.' New Community Schools projects may involve a single school or clusters of schools, and often involve work across nursery, primary and secondary level.

A call for 'robust and effective child protection procedures to safeguard children' in Wales has come from the Welsh Assembly's health and social services minister. Speaking at the launch of the All Wales Child Protection Procedures, Jane Hutt said recent reports into abuse scandals had underlined the importance of agencies working together. She added, 'The Assembly government will take a lead on child protection issues where this is necessary, but I am keen to promote collaborative working and to encourage innovative ideas across all sectors. These procedures set out common standards for all of Wales to guide work in child protection, to make it clear how agencies can and should work together and to make sure that practice is consistent and of high quality.'

'Charlie Cheetah loves sport at school, but every time he runs around he feels out of breath. Mrs Cheetah brought him to see me.' So begins Charlie Has Asthma (Haldane Mason, 4.99), one of a series of three Dr Spot books, designed to reassure children about particular health problems. Dr Spot is a friendly leopard GP with an exemplary bedside manner. Besides Charlie, his other animal patients to date are Harriet the Hippopotamus with tonsillitis, and Mike the Monkey with chickenpox. The books, aimed at children from three to seven years old, have been written by ex-nanny Jenny Leigh, who wished to marry her more current experience of working in healthcare communications with 15 years of looking after various sick charges, step-children and nieces and nephews. 'When they were ill I couldn't find books like this in the shops,' she says. Her niece's experience of asthma inspired her to write about Charlie Cheetah, and it is backed by the National Asthma Campaign. Three more books are planned - one about a lion with nits in his mane.
