This DCSF Consultation states "The school sector is responsible for 15% of public sector carbon emissions arising from energy use in school buildings, school travel and transport, the procurement of goods and services and the production of waste in schools. We need to reduce these emissions to prevent greater adverse impact on climate change. This consultation is to gather stakeholder views on the feasibility and priority of options for action in the sector, to reduce carbon and greenhouse gases arising from the operation of the school system, while still delivering core business."

The Children, Young People and Families (CYPF) grant programme provides funding to third sector organisations for activities which support delivery of the Every Child Matters agenda and the Children's Plan. 

QCA has launched an online questionnaire to gather views on the EYFS during its first year. This is at http://www.qca.org.uk/qca_22487.aspx until 24 July 2009. It would be helpful if DEA members could respond to the questionnaire drawing out how they have embedded global learning.
