Hi Deb
I am so sorry that your Committee have put you in this position
Easy for me to say I know, but I would fight them over this - how can hiring temporary staff be in children's best interests, so not only will they have to return to an unfamiliar set up but the people that care for them will be different too - this will impact on their emotional well-being
Grrrr- this is what I most dislike about Committee run settings - never worked in one, but I would find it extremely hard to be led by people without basic knowledge of childcare and development
Sending you every good wish Deb
