You cannot address the staffing crisis in Early Years without addressing low pay. The Minister agrees with the @SIPTU SEO plan for pay, and so does Denise. This is what #leadership looks like

[SIPTU - The Early Years Union @EarlyYearsUnion]

Denise Mc Cormilla, CEO of @ncn4children speaks about the impact that low-pay and lack of funding have on Early Years educators who are trying to deliver high-quality care and education for our children. Like and retweet if you agree with what Denise has to say!

The importance of quality consultation and co-construction of policy cannot be overestimated.

We should be teaching our young people to respect differences, to allow for differences, to encourage differences, until differences no longer make a difference. ~ Robert John Meehan

[PenGreenResearchBase @PGResearchBase]

"Nine in ten parents of children six and under agree that early years educators have an essential role to play in their child’s development and believe they should be paid accordingly, research suggests."

If we are serious about high quality provision for children them the funding model for ECEC must include all aspects of quality

Michael Taft tells @siptu activists ‘What employers don’t want you to know’ — construction workers’ wages NOT the problem in Ireland’s private house building industry, huge employer profits are @notesonthefront #OurSIPTU

It wouldn’t be St Patrick’s day without a little rain, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of @SIPTU and @BigStartIreland activists at the #Sligo parade #OurSIPTU
