Abstract
Barnardos were delighted to attend the Early Childhood Ireland
conference in Croke Park last weekend and even more delighted by
some announcements made at the event by Minister Katherine
Zappone, including the news that €3 million will be invested into CPD
for early years educators. While the full details haven't yet been
released we know that the CPD initiative will be managed by Better
Start and that a proper CPD infrastructure, including supports and
funding, will be developed. In addition, the Minister stated that
consideration will be given to extending AIM to younger children,
another very welcome development.
In this issue we bring you updates on other developments in the areas
of early years and children and families as well as information about
Barnardos training events coming up, new publications available and
additions to our library resources.
