In Practice: Roundup - Staff in centres earn more

1 min read
Early years staff in children's centres earn more and have a higher level of qualification than staff in other types of childcare provision, a government survey has revealed.

Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey 2008 found higher proportions of workers in children's centre daycare were qualified to Level 3. www.cypnow.co.uk/doc

Children's minister Dawn Primarolo has written to children's centre leaders to remind them to display signs featuring new branding as part of a national publicity drive.

Together for Children has launched a resource to help councils and partners look at ways to bring together the provision of children's centres and extended schools. Sure Start Children Centres and Extended Services Through Schools: Alignment in Practice can be downloaded from www.childrens-centres.org.

The role of schools in helping to eliminate child poverty will be one of the topics up for discussion at a 4Children conference on 1 December in London. Speakers at Child Poverty - 10 Years On include Caroline Kelham, head of the government's Child Poverty Unit. www.4children.org.uk/events
