Merry Christmas & best wishes from the Education ministers!

The Scottish Government has announced that £12 million is being provided to charities that support children, families and adult learning.
The way adult learning is lumped together with support to children and families it appears that parenting classes are high on the agenda.
Look at this mouthful:
"The Children, Young People & Families Early Intervention and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund was co-produced with voluntary sector representatives who gave advice to the Scottish Government on streamlining the existing funding arrangements."
Yes, I bet they did.
Among the recipients are the usual GIRFEC supporting charities and many adoption and fostering agencies. When it is considered that Barnardos and other large children`s charities are also involved in adoption and fostering, the adoption industry has done very well.
None of this inspires confidence in the future of early intervention.
