In May 2023, Welsh Government introduced revised National Minimum Standards for Regulated Childcare (NMS) for children up to the age of 12 years. This included clearer guidance on safeguarding training requirements in Wales.
The Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY) Cymru and Children in Wales (CIW) have worked together to develop a pilot training package in line with these revised standards.
This bilingual training will be delivered through a blended approach of self-directed online learning and tutor-led learning. Learners will need to complete the e-learning before they attend the tutor-led training. A certificate will then be issued upon completion of both parts.
The training is affordable and aimed at the childcare workforce, meaning it can be accessible at times most suitable for their working patterns. The courses will enable practitioners to meet the November deadline to be compliant with the safeguarding element of the National Minimum Standards for Regulated Childcare.
When reflecting on the Children in Wales Group C Advanced Safeguarding Children for Childcare Practitioners course, a previous attendee said:
“The training was the best Safeguarding training I've done (in 30 years of doing it). It was succinct but done in a really interesting way."
This exciting pilot will be delivered in a bold new partnership between PACEY and CIW, combining our areas of expertise. But why choose us?
