Setting the scene
Penny Webb
Penny explained how NEYTCO had come about. She explained that the organisation is keen to develop
peer support for both experienced and new trainers and consultants e.g. In terms of space, resources
or practical things such as projectors. It can also support in relation to covering training booked. It also
acts as a national resource that early years providers can use to find training and consultancy. There is
no current budget to support the network. There are some international connections. There was the
suggestion from Tricia that NEYTCO could apply to national Lottery. There was discussion over
making links with Teaching Schools.

Penny Webb
This event was by PLA and titled 'Working together to deliver the early years agenda.' Nick Clegg,
Deputy Prime Minister, was speaking. Penny had a question to ask on baseline assessment but was
unable to ask and felt it was more about promoting the party. There were points raised about the
hidden costs of childcare by PLA. Nick Clegg was focused on the value of having QTS.
