New from DfE

The Department for Education has just released its latest batch of research reports, and this month there are quite a few! If you're a glutton for punishment then you can read all of the latest reports by clicking here, but what I've tried to do is provide links to the ones which are particularly relevant to this site's users.

One item which should be of interest to most readers is the Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey 2011 (despite the title it is new!) - a summary of the main findings is also available.

There are also two new reports compiled by the Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre:

• Children’s and Young People’s Voices on their Wellbeing
• Implementing Evidence-Based Programmes in Children’s Services: Key Issues for Success

 And three reports from the Longitudinal Study of Early Years Professional Status:

• Listening to Children’s Perspectives: Improving the Quality of Provision in Early Years Settings
• Second National Survey of Practitioners with Early Years Professional Status
• Longitudinal Study of Early Years Professional Status: an Exploration of Progress, Leadership and Impact: Final Report
