Please can you ask Elizabeth Truss why the DfE produced an almost identical document 'Early Years Outcomes' to the 'Development Matters' and why did vital information such as the Characteristics of Effective Learning, what adults should do, what adults could provide and that the list of statements should not be used as a check list advice, get left out. Does she believe that these are not important. Also why was the order changed as this sends a strong message. Does she believe that communication comes before personal and social development in importance?

I'm looking forward to starting the Early Years Teacher Status training later this month but am still unclear as to whether I will be able to apply for teaching jobs in the maintained sector as the EYTS will not bring QTS. Nor am I clear as to whether the training will be followed by the equivalent of an NQT year. I'd be grateful if the minister could clarify these points.
