Aspect’s General Secretary, John Chowcat, yesterday highlighted the issues regarding pay for EYPs during his speech to the TUC.
As well as affirming the importance of the Every Child Matters agenda, the motion – which has now been voted on and carried, and is therefore TUC policy – called for appropriate machinery to ensure fair pay and conditions of employment for staff throughout the children’s workforce.
The motion also confirmed the need for continued specialist professional supervision for practitioners multi-disciplinary teams, and the requirement to broaden the debate over modern holistic approaches to child development, including social pedagogy.
