Reforms of the system of support for children with special educational needs took another step last week with the Scottish Executive's publication of a draft Bill for consultation.

Childcarers and teachers need to be aware that children who have had meningitis in their first year of life may have difficulties with language and literacy later on. Simple education interventions may help compensate for these deficits. Until now there have been few studies of the long-term complications of meningitis, but new research on 1,717 five-year-old children in England and Wales, who survived an acute attack between 1985 and 1987, sheds new light. Researchers at the Centre for Paediatric Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Institute of Child Health, London, carried out the study.

The nursery education grant currently funds each child at our pre-school for up to five sessions of two-and-a-half hours per week for 11 weeks per term - a total of 33 weeks a year. Yet a four-year-old child in an early years class within a school receives an average of 39 weeks of free education per school year. Why is there this six-week difference between schools and daycare settings? If we used different sets of rules and regulations for each family within our pre-school, and had different formulae for working out fees that depended on which place you came from, wouldn't we be accused of discrimination?

There will also be some three-year funding to subsidise places for poor families in existing provision. * The funds available are 100m of lottery money from the New Opportunities Fund for capital funding, plus Pounds 203m start-up grants from the DfEE over three years. This can be supplemented with loans from banks working with the Government.
