GMB Sponsors Early Years 2003 Awards

As with previous years, the GMB was proud to be involved with the annual Early Years Conference, organised by Early Years Educator magazine. The event was held on 20 and 21 September at the Centennial Centre in Birmingham and was attended by early years professionals from across the UK.

Regional GMB Officer Pauline Browne and National Officer Jude Brimble hosted a workshop session for delegates which focused on the National Childcare Strategy, school workforce remodelling and the changes in pay and conditions and roles and responsibilities affecting School Support Staff as a result of the Time for Standards agreement.

The Early Years awards is a celebration of excellence in early years teaching and this year, the GMB sponsored two of the awards - Nursery Nurse of the Year and Teaching Assistant of the Year, which is a brand new award category.
