Celebrating success
Most Instrumental Early Years Consulting Business Leader 2023 (West Midlands): Deborah Udakis
Child poverty - Slipping through the net
I was delighted to have an article published in the July edition of "Nursery World" Magazine.
"Child poverty - Slipping through the net"
In 2018, the UN published a statement on its visit to the UK, by Professor Philip Alston, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.
He was highly critical of the UK Government’s economic and welfare policies and pointed to ‘the immense growth in food banks and the queues waiting outside them, the people sleeping rough in the streets, the growth of homelessness, the sense of deep despair that leads even the Government to appoint a Minister for Suicide Prevention and Civil Society, to report in-depth on unheard of levels of loneliness and isolation.’ ...
... The number of families being referred to food banks is at an all-time high and continues to rise. For children, the impact on their chances of a decent education and life success is profound.
When children grow up poor, they miss out on the things most children take for granted: warm clothes, school trips, having friends over for tea. Poor children achieve less at school and this affects their future economic success, as well as their health and mental well-being.

Reggio Emilia Approach
As an early years consultant I fully endorse the Reggio Emilia Approach to the learning, values and development of our young children.
I have attended the 'International Loris Malaguzzi Centre' in Italy on a number of occasions to keep up to date with techniques, innovations and core values of their approach.
I always come away feeling inspired.
