Hi everyone, I am starting to feel really jaded with everything of late, it almost feels like an anit-climax. I have recently been ofsted'd which we recieved good overall and outstanding for partnerships with parents.

Hi everyone - am hoping for some of your expert advice. I'm halfway through the first year of a degree in Early Childhood studies ( feels like longer!) and feel that referencing is the bane of my life. I read Clare's recent post with interest and I too have become more organised with this. I have a file with headings, under which I put my references, details of author and all other info. This is a great help but I still seem to manage to make annoying mistakes on references within my assignments. As I'm distance learning it often takes a little while for my tutor to get back to me and so I wondered if anyone had any miracle ideas to allow it to all sink…
