The latest edition of IMPACT’s Work & Life magazine, which focusses on members who provide services to children, is being dispatched to workplaces from this week. The magazine also pays tribute to the bravery and dedication of the crew of Irish Coastguard Rescue 116, who were all members of IMPACT.

Librarian Darina Molloy provides a detailed and colourful account of the range of services that libraries provide to children and schools, while Ciairín de Buis discusses the union’s EarlyImpact campaign for greater state investment and professionalisation of the country’s early education services. IMPACT launched its new Early Education branch last month.

Meanwhile, Martina O’Leary looks at the work of the Special Education Needs Organisers, while Lughan Deane digs out the history notes and provides a study guide for Leaving Cert history students who want to prepare themselves for questions about the 1913 Dublin Lockout.

Our movies and garden features are all about a child’s perspective too. And we have all the regular features on food, travel, career, music and competitions.
