Funding for Level 3 Health & Social Care and Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools – includes Free Work-Based Assessor Training and Qualification (Posted 29:06:10) Do you have experienced staff who would benefit from completing a Level 3 qualification rather than a Level 2?

Funding criteria is set to change – requiring more contribution from the Employer than ever before. Our current funding stream is nearly at an end and is on a first come first served basis and subject to Candidate eligibility. If you have Candidates that do not reach the criteria for funding – our regular non-funded prices are £550 + VAT per Candidate*. ** one free Work-Based Assessor per Employer * prices are subject to a minimum of 5 Candidates (fully-funded) or 3 Candidates (non-funded) at each Employer site.

Source(s): Liz MossUpdates from Cambridgeshire Disability ServiceFollowing the Training Standardisation Road Shows and subsequent release of the Food Hygiene and SOVA training standards we have received some feedback from a small number of you who are looking for clarity as to specific issues contained within these standards. In response I have amended the Food Hygiene Standard and the Guidance document (amendments are in RED). You will also see that all three documents now have a version number water mark on each page. Can I ask that you delete or dispose of existing standards and guidance that you may have on your computer system or in hard copy and replace them with the SoVA, Food Hygiene and Guide documents attached? Just to up-date you briefly on progress, we are now close to completing standards for Moving and Handling, Promoting Positive Behaviour and Infection Control and these will be circulated in the near future. Here are the updates we have so far: Training Standards Guidance Food Hygiene SOVA If you have any issues relating to these Training Standards please do not hesitate to either contact me or your designated Contracts Managers.

Employers! My school needs your help! (Posted: 23/07/09) In
September we are starting a new Diploma in Society, Health & Development
for students who are interested in a career in the caring professions. The Diploma has been written in consultation
with employers to ensure that students develop the ‘soft’ skills so valued in
the workplace as well as gaining an understanding of what it means to be a
professional in the caring sector. For
the Diploma to be a success we are absolutely reliant on the support of employers. This support can take the form of work
placements (our students will be looking for a half day a week placement, on a
Monday) when students can observe the practice they are learning in school. If
a placement is difficult then a visit from a professional who is happy to talk
about professionalism in the workplace and how they ensure the principles and
values of the sector are upheld would be most helpful. Or, we would appreciate a copy of a staff
handbook which shows the policies and charters that guide the work of the
setting. In
addition if there are any training courses being run for employees which have a
couple of unfilled places which could be offered to students (or teachers) so
that we can better understand the challenges presented in caring for the more
vulnerable members of our community this would also be most welcome. If
you wish to read a little more detail about the Diploma programme I would
recommend the government website www.direct.gov.uk/diplomas
which has a section specifically aimed at employers. If you feel you may be able to offer support
then please do email me on stfsuhun@saffronwaldenessex.sch.uk. Youngsters are often criticised that they are
not ‘work-ready’ at the end of many years in education,
I believe that the Diploma will go a long way to addressing these
criticisms. I do hope you may be able to
help. Thank you! Source
