Paying for checks

Taking Ofsted out of the loop on Criminal Records Bureau checks was a sensible move. Rather less sensible is the recent announcement that the DfES subsidy which pays for CRB checks on daycare staff will not apply to repeat checking. Any person moving from one setting to another will have a new check paid for out of public funds.

Schools across the country are up in arms about shortfalls in their budget allocations which, they say, mean that it will be impossible for them to implement the Workload Reduction Agreement, with massive implications for teachers and teaching assistants (see News, page 4). The problems are not surprising if we look at what has already been happening where improved pay and career structures have been agreed for nursery nurses and classroom assistants. In some areas, an attractive-looking pay scale and grading structure has been rendered more-or-less meaningless because budgets dictate that no-one is being put on the higher grades and new posts are all being advertised at the bottom of the scale.

The twentieth Puppet Animation Festival, the UK's oldest and largest performing arts festival for children, got off to a good start when Chameleon Puppets and Kidgloves Puppets visited Liberton Nursery in Edinburgh for a puppet show and a workshop. Ken Hardie of Kidgloves Puppets said that he likes children to interact with the puppets in a pantomime style and found the four- and five-year-olds at Liberton very enthusiastic. Using familiar stories, such as 'Little Red Riding Hood' and the 'Three Billy Goats Gruff', Mr Hardie weaves together a selection of stories of five to ten minutes each to make a show that invites audience participation.
