1. Safe sleeping in the early years setting
The most
up-to-date information about safe sleeping practices within an early years
setting can now be found under the ‘General Health and wellbeing guidance’
section of the WSCC website.
The guidance outlines safe sleeping
practices for all children in the early years setting including children with
additional needs and children at higher risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome,
and can be used as part of your safe sleeping policy for best practice.
2. Early Years and
Childcare Business Conference - uncollected item
A delegate from
Saturday’s Early Years and Childcare Business Conference purchased an item from
Commotion Distribution, however did not collect the this before the end of the
day.
If this was you please
email Katie.crompton@westsussex.gov.uk, confirming what the item you
purchased was, and we can then arrange for this to be posted to you.
Thank
you to all the delegates for turning out on a very cold, snowy Saturday! We
hope you enjoyed the conference.
3. University of Chichester Early Years Initial Teacher
Training: Graduate Employment Based & Assessment Only
The
University of Chichester offers the Graduate Employment Based (GEB) and
Assessment Only (AO) routes to Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS).
A highly
skilled workforce is seen as critical in supporting outstanding early years
provision. This makes Early Years Teachers ideally placed to fulfil the need of
employers for high quality professionals working with young children aged 0 – 5
years.
To be
awarded EYTS, trainees must meet robust standards designed for high quality education
and care. The GEB route is fully
funded and includes a £7,000 employer incentive to cover release and other
costs. If you are an experienced practitioner you may prefer the self-funded
(£2,600), three month AO route.
Entry Requirements:
- Employment in an eligible early years setting which fully supports the
application
- GCSE or recognised equivalent in Science, Maths and English at Grade C
or above
- A degree equivalent to UK standards at the start of the programme
- Passed Professional Skills Tests in Maths and English prior to entry
- Confirmation that appropriate suitability checks (including DBS) have been
undertaken by their setting
To register your interest for the 2018/19 course,
or for further details, please email EYTS@chi.ac.uk or tel: 01243
812011.
