Helping you to meet your targets

We understand that settings and local authorities are all striving to provide the very best services for children and families. Training is one of the ways in which we can help settings to hone their services and provide the best. We are keen to provide support to employers and to local authorities to analyse training needs and develop innovative solutions that meet employers’ needs, learners’ needs and the strategic needs of local authorities. Contact your divisional office for a consultation.

Building on qualifications – professional development

Getting qualified is only the start. As professionals childcare workers must keep all their skills and knowledge up‑to‑date. The Alliance can provide training that can take setting staff further steps along their learning pathway. There are suites of courses and sessions providing training in subjects of universal interest, for example inclusion and equality. There are courses for new staff and for staff taking on new roles. We have courses looking at management issues. We can provide training on a wide range of specific subjects and for specific audiences. Contact your Area Manager to discuss.

From August 2010 the children and young people’s workforce qualifications reform bring changes to our programme. For more information on the changes click here
