I’m fed up being used as a political football

[Together. @2020Together]

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.

@ffsfairfunding1 @scotgov @NatalieDon_ @JohnSwinney @ELCScotGov @SP_PublicAudit @SP_ECYP @StefanCross1 is this a clear case of #discrimination #bias public funding being used to create a 2 tier pay policy affecting a predominantly female workforce ??

@2020Together @NatalieDon_ A wise decision, no brainer. Many more to follow @NatalieDon_ @CareInspect @JohnSwinney time for plan b, or c

[Together. @2020Together]

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!

[Jim @elc1140]

@ELCScotGov @NatalieDon_ @SP_ECYP @ScotGovFM @AnasSarwar @MGallacherMSP @2020Together @NatalieDon_ @JohnSwinney I think you urgently need to speak to @2020Together before you are faced with a Judicial Review of the ‘built in’ #bias #flawed #1140hrs ELC rollout. Literally HUNDREDS of nurseries are screaming for this to be instigated URGENTLY @SP_ECYP @ELCScotGov

[Jim @elc1140]

@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

This week we are asked to share this letter explaining @scotgov and @COSLA Implementation of the ELC Sustainable Rates Review and at present collecting thoughts and comments from our members, these can also be sent to [email protected]

It’s about paying professionals #fair and #equal pay for doing the exact same job. Simple !

@elc1140 @ELCScotGov @NdnaScotland @earlyyearsscot @2020Together @SP_ECYP @NatalieDon_ @MGallacherMSP @AnasSarwar @ELCScotGov reliance on lucrative consultants/consultations stall dev of services at heart of policies @scottishgov @Keir_Starmer faced with complex series of challenges on unprecedented scale & require #PVI to deliver best valuequality frontline services for taxpayers & economy!

[Jim @elc1140]

Our plea for making inroads on the sector funding gap which is at the root of our staffing crisis has been ignored and kicked into the long grass for next govt to deal with 😡 this cannot be acceptable. The process laid out in this doc is totally unnecessary. #bias is clear.

[Jim @elc1140]

New sustainable rates update from @ELCScotGov out now. First impressions - disappointing. Way too little, way too slow. Many providers won’t survive to see any change in 26/27 - if any ! @NdnaScotland @earlyyearsscot @2020Together @SP_ECYP @NatalieDon_ @MGallacherMSP @AnasSarwar

[Jim @elc1140]

@macmairi3 @ELCScotGov @NdnaScotland @earlyyearsscot @2020Together @SP_ECYP @NatalieDon_ @MGallacherMSP @AnasSarwar @scottishgov @Keir_Starmer It appears that @ELCScotGov have no answer to council funding bias therefore try to switch focus to cost of current delivery, ignoring quality and parity. @theSNP will suffer the consequences of inaction as Scot elections not too far away @ScottishLabour @ScotTories @scotlibdems

[Jim @elc1140]

The data is being skewed and giving false account of the reality. This is where the main problem lies, and why PVI vow to raise awareness to every parent in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. We need honest politics 🫣☺️

[Jim @elc1140]

@LornaCarlyle1 @scottishelcc @2020Together @COSLA_CYP @NatalieDon_ That’s why @2020Together created our campaign video and spread the word across the whole country. Our members are. Calling for a JR, but we are exhausting every other avenue to avoid this as long as possible @ELCScotGov @SP_ECYP @ScotGovFM

[Jim @elc1140]

@LornaCarlyle1 @scottishelcc @2020Together @COSLA_CYP @NatalieDon_ @ELCScotGov @SP_ECYP @ScotGovFM Our members have pledged financial support for JR as a last resort. We are at 11th hour @NatalieDon_

[Jim @elc1140]

@ELCScotGov know perfectly well that this misrepresents the reality of where we are, but that’s politics. The next steps are either, working together to agree an acceptable roadmap with PVI, or further exposure of the inequalities and the legality of the bias and discrimination.

[Jim @elc1140]

@442ben @NatalieDon_ @ELCScotGov @parentclubscot @SP_ECYP @willie_rennie @AuditorGenScot It may not be the perfect political message to put out, but now is the ideal opportunity to introduce a realistic change to set us on the right pathway to #fairness #equity it would be regretful to miss this opportunity to make a change to save the #elc #blueprint

[Sweetie Brae Nursery @Sweetiebrae]

@2020Together So sad we are still here trying to gain equality for our children when we have been saying this for many years. Apart from the general inequality let's make sure this also concerns asn children whom we get no support at all financial or staffing, in many councils. Not girfec !!

[kidkid @scottishelcc]

This is the truth about how @ELCScotGov @COSLA_CYP are treating 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 children and ELC workers. @parentclubscot @parentforumscot know the truth, support our cause @SP_ECYP @ScotTories @scotlibdems

[kidkid @scottishelcc]

@NatalieDon_ PVI have no more leeway, we cannot ask working families to further subsidise a bias policy rollout. We now meet this head on, full on, all in !
