Nursery World - United we stand for professionalism

Further to Unison's decision to ballot nursery nurses in Scotland on strike action (News, 22 January) and the letter by Lorraine Innes ('Scotland the brave', 15 January), I must say that I agree wholeheartedly with the ongoing cry of greater professional recognition for nursery nurses. This job has always been far more complex and demanding than the public, the media or indeed the Government recognise, or the salary reflects. To this end I have always championed the cause whenever I get the chance. One positive action I have taken is to be a member of the Professional Association of Nursery Nurses, which is now a section of the Professional Association of Teachers.

PANN is a union formed and run by nursery nurses for nursery nurses. PANN can fight your corner, should the need arise, with a far greater understanding than any other union. It provides professional development and gives opportunity for effective networking in the profession.
