I am so sorry...in fact very angry .... to read this type of misleading information about CMs....I have already approached NW on this so panic not and have been asked to write in if I wish...just in case this is seen as 'critical'....it is disheartening to read wrong descriptions of cms and our status

Cms are NOT waged so they cannot be earning the MW...apparently that is how many cms who responded to the survey carried out by NW described how they pay themselves.
If we were paid a wage we would not be able to claim 'self employed' allowances.

Underfunding is certainly a problem...I see that Sarah mentions in her area providers lose £1 per hour...in mine the loss is up to £4 per hour per child.
