Aimed at early years practitioners in supervisory or managerial roles, this course equips you with the skills and knowledge to develop your career as a graduate practitioner. The course is delivered at University Centre Weston With taught sessions taking place only one day a week, the course allows you to study while you work, with your workplace giving you the opportunity to reflect on practice and collect information to use in portfolios. This course aims to develop reflective practitioners, who will make valuable contributions to the early years sector and to the lives of very young children. You’ll explore the status of children in society and discuss how practitioners can allow the voice of the child to be heard. You’ll also consider essential safeguarding principles and practice. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the regulatory and legislative framework for early years, and the government’s agenda and strategies as they relate to young children and their families. Through work-based learning, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a research project on an area of your choice, connected to your professional interests. The course offers a progression route to an Honours Degree and to QTS via an appropriate ITT course such as a Primary PGCE, and provides a basis on which to work towards Early Years Teacher Status.
