Childcare
Overview
What will I learn?
The key features included in this award focus on the job roles of those aspiring to advance their practice within the childhood practice sector. The award will give learners the opportunity to consolidate extensive work experience to advance their learning beyond that of the practitioner role
Units studied include:
- Childhood Practice: Enhanced Professional Practice
- Childhood Practice: Leadership and Team Working
- Childhood Practice: Integrated Working and Collaborative Practice
- Childhood Practice: Policy to Practice
- Childhood Practice: Pedagogical Approaches
What qualifications do I need?
Learners accessing this award should hold a practitioner qualification as required by the SSSC, for example, HNC Childhood Practice/SVQ Social Services (Children and Young People) at SCQF level 7 or any previous practitioner award recognised by the SSSC.
In addition, learners should be working in, or have access to a placement in the childhood practice sector. Due to the diversity of roles within the sector learners may not be working directly with children but may be in a co-ordinating role.
What can I do after?
Learners can progress to the HND Childhood Practice or use the credits towards entry to the BA Childhood Practice or PDA Childhood Practice at SCQF level 9. Both these qualifications are the SSSC registration requirements for manager/lead practitioner
