The National Early Years Network's magazine, Co-ordinate, was named Charity Magazine of the Year at the 2001 Charity and Public Service Publishing Awards ceremony held in London last week. The reporting judge, Conrad Taylor, described the magazine as being 'informative, produced to a tight budget, engagingly written and designed with great subtlety'. He added, 'The typography is highly legible and delicately tuned - so much so that you hardly notice the artistry behind it.' The runner-up magazine was Inside Out, produced by the Council for World Mission.

The record of needs system for children with special educational needs is to be scrapped, minister for education and young people Cathy Jamieson said last week. Ms Jamieson said that after 'numerous complaints' about the record of needs, it would be replaced by a new co-ordinated support plan which would also have statutory backing but would only come into play if a child's needs were found to be beyond their school's resources. Childcarers and other professionals will work together to identify children with special needs as early as possible, to ensure appropriate provision.

The letter from Emma MacDonald (18 November) about smacking typically demonstrates how little some people regard children within society. She suggests, 'parents are only human and make mistakes like everyone else'. But children are human too! They feel intimidated, feel pain, hold fears and have many more internalised experiences, just like you and me.
