    Early Years eNews: Issue 4
    (Barnardos, 2016) Barnardos
    As we await the upcoming Budget, there have been a number of significant developments in the early years sector over the last few months, in particular the formation of the Early Years Forum. This Forum will allow for consultation between the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and key representatives from the sector, which is greatly welcomed. Another key development is the establishment of a Childminding Collaborative Working Group which will focus on the future for Childminders in Ireland. This issue of Early Years eNews also has information about a number of reports recently launched.

    In this issue of Early Years eNews we bring you details of the launch of our new publication for early years educators - Supporting Young Children's Behaviour Skills.

We also bring you information about the recently published report by Unicef which highlights the worrying inequality and deprivation experienced by many children in Ireland today. There is also information of the new national education programme on best practice for the inclusion of children with a disability in preschool and reform of the higher capitation payment.

    Early Years eNews: Issue 1
    (Barnardos, 2016) Barnardos
    As we await the outcome of General Election 2016, Barnardos is asking politicians to make children their priority and calling for concrete action in five areas of a child’s life: first year of life, early years, education, health and housing. We are demanding change that will have an immediate and real impact on lives as part of a broader strategy to end societal inequality that unfairly affects children. In this issue of Early Years eNews we bring you details of a report outlining the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child's verdict on Ireland and the results are clear: we could do much better. There is also information about the report on Affordable and Quality Childcare from the Joint Committee on Health and Children and a new children's participation hub database.
