A LEADING academic has been tasked with heading up a review of the childcare workforce as part of "ambitious" Scottish Government plans to transform early learning.
Professor Iram Siraj is to lead a review team which will examine the skills and qualifications of those working in the sector, as well as how to ensure people are attracted to a career in childcare.
Children's Minister Aileen Campbell announced the appointment of Prof Siraj the day before legislation is expected to be passed at Holyrood which will increase free childcare for three and four-year-olds.
