@2020Together@scotgov@NatalieDon_ Absolutely shocking. Policy makers and politicians are failing 🏴 children, workforce, local businesses and 🏴 economy @JohnSwinney you need to stop blaming everybody else and sort this mess out. We are willing to sit round the table with you and offer realistic solutions.
@elc1140@scotgov@NatalieDon_ Meanwhile we have a workforce on their knees and a scrutiny body ready to roll out yet another framework to beat them with. Who is going to press the stop button on this? https://t.co/bitzma7QoB
@442ben@scotgov@NatalieDon_ 6yrs ago we said ‘rip this policy up and start again’ it was ‘never’ going to work 🤷🏻♂️ @JohnSwinney is the only person who can effect the urgent changes needed to save @elc policy in Scotland. Is there a will @ScotGovFM
A compelling and concise video message that highlights the root causes behind the crisis in the early childhood workforce. Bringing clarity of the national picture and urgency required to support an often overlooked issue.
@elc1140@scotgov@NatalieDon_ We r told by govt & la the pvi r needed time & time again.Hollow words as the actions show otherwise. They all said judge us by our actions & here we r now having 2 fight for our very survival as the actions by a few detriment the many.They all talk the talk but the walk is diff
As more and more councils set out their plans to offer additional childcare for private fees it provides clear evidence that @scotgov hv given PVIs direct competitors the power to set our rates and restrict our income #anticompetitive this must surely be illegal @NatalieDon_ ???
Glasgow resident child who turns 3 in March 2025 already offered funding in a gcc nursery, but cannot even apply for funding in their current NLC nursery till Feb 2025, and if successful it wouldn’t start till Aug 2025 at earliest 🤔 FFtC @NatalieDon_@ELCScotGov ??? Shambles !!
@elc1140@NatalieDon_@ELCScotGov Postcode lottery 😡Funding does NOT follow the child 😡 PVI being driven out of business😡 more PVI nurseries up for sale now than any other time 😡 staff well being at lowest ebb ever 😡 our competitors (councils) have been supported by @scotgov to destroy our sector 😡
We are so upset this morning, another long term experienced provider getting out after decades of commitment to 🏴 children due to the mess the 1140 has caused! @NatalieDon_ Our members are of the opinion that nothing has changed and they have little option but get out!
@ELCScotGov@NatalieDon_@SP_ECYP@ScotGovFM@AnasSarwar @MGallacherMSP @2020Together Who’s to blame for this fiasco ?? @NatalieDon_ is trying hard to find solution, but sadly, allowing councils to control local private business’ income will NEVER work. The proposed, delaying, next steps are way too little, way too slow and will only cause further harm to PVI
@ELCScotGov@NatalieDon_ Many more are set to follow suit as the ‘brain drain’ from 🏴 PVI ELC sector ramps up @SP_ECYP we have been warning of this, but falling on deaf ears 🥲 we have lost another valued colleague, but 🏴 children are the real losers @ScotGovFM@AnasSarwar @MGallacherMSP @2020Together
More sad news today 🥲 another of our massively experienced colleagues has decided to ‘get out’ of the toxic, crumbling ELC sector. Another 2 nurseries and hundreds of parents affected, and not even close to bring captured by your flawed ‘data collecting’ @ELCScotGov@NatalieDon_
