Learning to Care

Synopsis: Local authorities are obliged to make provision for young children identified as being ‘in need’, but there is no general duty towards all pre-school children. Nursery and playgroup provision across England and Scotland is patchy. In Strathclyde a major policy initiative was implemented to bring together pre-school services. This has led to a variety of services. Fairley Family Centre and Edinbarnet Nursery School show how education is extended to socially deprived families under the scheme. At another nursery where 15 of the 40 children have a disability, parents, carers and professionals join together for integrated pre-school education.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
