By building their union, Early Years Educators now had a voice that could not be ignored.
1,000s took action to highlight their plight, like #WhoValuesUs in 2017
We wanted to make Early Years, and ending low pay in particular, a priority for government.
@dcediy @rodericogorman Relationships start with respect and that means referring to us as ECEC not ELC. Partnership starts with meaningful dialogue which doesn't happen. This is the reason the profession is crumbling yet non of those decision makers are held responsible for the mess. #whovaluesus

Burnout/ stress are significant reasons for educators to leave the profession. I've seen too many friends/ colleagues exit for this reason &I can really empathise. @dcediy @pobal etc always pushing with no consideration of its impact on low paid undervalued educators #whovaluesus
Wednesday Discussion: BURNOUT🥵
#Stress and #burnout are common issues working in #earlyyears & this time of year can be esp. tough.
❓How do you deal it?
❓Share strategies for #selfcare, #stress & #wellbeing.
❓What is your biggest #stressor?

@dcediy @acpire Welcome update for ECEC/ SAC services but it should have been issued earlier and inline with @Education_Ire advice to schools and colleges. It shouldn't take an outcry from the sector to have the same respect for our safety as shown for primary school teachers. #whovaluesus
@rodericogorman bitterly disappointed with the guidance from @dcediy on storm Barra. @Education_Ire clearly stated educational facilities in red/ orange areas to close while we're told to "be care". The safety of children, families and educators need to be paramount. #whovaluesus
In a survey of 722 services
97% of services say Pobal audits need to stop until Covid risk reduces
94% of services said DE inspections need to stop until Covid risks reduces
No to Pobal. No to DE inspections until it is safe to do so. #whovaluesus
Shameless to see the likes of ISME bash teachers/ educators over vaccinations. Educators face a daily high risk of contracting covid in their work. ECEC were essentially for getting the economy going and now are being badly treated. #whovaluesus
Wearing red today to support the @BigStartIreland day of action. As a teacher in Junior primary school- I see every day the fantastic impact that Early Years educators have on our children. #WhoValuesUs
Thank you Minna Murphy for sharing this photo with us of our march last year.
From 1pm on Friday, we are asking Early Years Educators all over the country to join in by wearing something red, sharing your message to the government, and posting to social media using #WhoValuesUs
A large number of Early Years professionals are already looking for another job and 93% stated that they will leave the sector within 5 years times unless things change.
#WhoValuesUs
Our sector is in crisis. But we know the solution.
Even before the pandemic, there was a staffing crisis but we are now on the verge of losing huge numbers of educators unless pay & conditions are addressed.
SIPTU is calling for the establishment of a JLC, to standards in wages & conditions of employment.
#WhoValuesUs
Without much-needed reforms, most Early Years professionals will not remain working in the sector over the coming years.
But we have an opportunity to change that.
Pay scales could be agreed under a Joint Labour Committee to provide a path to professional pay. #WhoValuesUs
Poverty pay is driving us from our profession, our educators cannot afford to stay in the job they love.
We need a commitment to professional pay for our sector.

Our educators are struggling to make ends meet.
93% of respondents stating they will leave the sector within 5yrs if conditions don't improve, this research clearly indicates that these professionals need better pay, job security and to be valued by Government
#WhoValuesUs
Stark figures from the Early Years Professionals’ Survey.
Workplace stress was a significant issue for Early Years educators in 2020.
#WhoValuesUs
#whovaluesus 77% of Early Years Professional have no SICK PAY-this needs to change now!
