Great discussion on importance of Early Years services for children Children's Rights Alliance panel discussion for #EndChildPovertyWeek
“When I met ministers recently I asked all ministers to consider what they can prioritise in their own departments in relation to child poverty. This is a wealthy, successful country, we can do better when it comes to this area,” Taoiseach Simon Harris TD irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…
SIPTU - The Early Years Union Simon Harris TD Can someone explain the meaning of early learning & childcare mean? When did we use such divisive terms? As someone involved in initial educator education, we don't train childcare or early learning workers. Professional identity matters for & to early childhood professionals.
Delighted to have been selected for the Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, Youth Equal Start programme & thanks to Roderic O’Gorman TD for bringing about changes that will have a positive impact on ECEC/ SAC children from disadvantaged backgrounds. A good first step but many more to be taken. #nochildleftbehind
