Association of Advisors for the Under-Eights and their Families (AAUEF) members were told last week they will not be allowed to share any information gained from being an Ofsted staff member within the AAUEF or contribute to any policy statements made by the AAUEF if they relate to the work of the Government or any political party. This effectively means they will be unable to hold positions within the association.
Members found out about the restrictions at their annual general meeting in Birmingham last week when Diane Trout, the AAUEF chair, read out a letter from Maggie Smith, director of Ofsted's Early Years Directorate.
