Professional training doesn't come free

    News

As a tutor on childcare, child development and play courses, I have been very interested in the articles and letters in Nursery World recently concerning the confusion about qualification levels for assistants and supervisors in various settings. As I work mainly in the 'community-based' sector I think your readers need to be aware that people who are already working for next to nothing also have to undertake training at their own expense. It is all very well for Richard Dorrrance, chief executive of CACHE, to say, 'If early years workers want to be called - and paid as - professionals, they must keep their training up to date.' Where do people who earn the basic minimum wage of 4.10 per hour find over 200 to register on a level 2 course?

Lesser-known nannies with star potential are being sought by a TV production company making a reality programme about getting children out of the house and away from their electronic games, computers and, what else, televisions. It's expected to take a two-month commitment to filming and the ideal candidate would be an outgoing, qualified or experienced childcarer over 25 - and preferably male, as the programme makers are keen to break away from stereotypes. To find out more contact David Terry at Princess Productions on 0161 233 3463.

Pooled funding benefits families

A new 1.2m purpose-built centre in Ruchazie, Glasgow, is providing a wealth of services for families and young children, including a project to help men to be better dads. The charity Quarriers, which provides family support services to people who have chronic drug or alcohol problems or who have suffered neglect or abuse, moved its Glasgow family support unit from temporary premises into the new centre last month. A funding package for the Quarriers Family Resource Project was devised last year following negotiations between the charity, Greater Glasgow Health Board, Glasgow Council education and social work departments, two of Glasgow's social inclusion partnerships and Scottish Homes. Their efforts were praised last week in a report on integrated children's services, which cited the project as an example of what can be achieved by pooling budgets.

More than half of parents with learning difficulties have their children removed from them and put into care, a new study said last week. The report, carried out by Bristol University's Norah Fry Research Centre and funded by the Baring Foundation, highlights the problems faced by such parents, who often meet prejudice from services and professionals which prevents them from accessing the right support that would help them keep their family together.

Why we must register all carers

    News

When I lived in Lytham St Annes in Lancashire before emigrating to Australia three years ago, I employed a mother's help to assist with housework and looking after my three little boys. Once I actually saw her hit my three-year-old son across the head, thinking that he would see it as a joke, but she actually hurt him. What concerned me was that if she was that casual about the way she treated the children when I was there, I couldn't rely on her caring for them while I was not there.
