Thank you for your commitment to training and continuing professional development through Cambridgeshire County Council over the last year. For , we have expanded our brochure to include updated information about our other services, alongside the familiar extensive programme of training and qualifications. We hope that the paper copy of this document, which a massive 97% of you said you valued, will continue to be a useful reference guide throughout the year. We know, too, from our surveys of provider views, that many of you will take advantage of our new online booking system, through Learn Together Cambridgeshire. Our programme of activity is now available to book directly via this address: Updates and new courses will appear here throughout the year. Do add it to your favourites and tell us what you think! It s also very exciting to include information about new partners and colleagues. Teaching schools are now offering more training. In Cambridgeshire we have a specialist early years teaching school, made up of 6 of our nursery schools, actively supporting quality improvement across the sector. You will find more information about their programme for the coming year in this brochure. Our 2016 Conference Yes we can! Supporting Children to Achieve will focus on Accelerating Achievement of vulnerable children. This is a key priority for Cambridgeshire County Council, and we will continue to support you to identify and meet the needs of those children who are at risk of not achieving their potential. We were delighted to be one of the first local authorities to implement the Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) for three and four-year-olds. We continue to encourage providers to find innovative ways of spending this new money to benefit EYPP children. You might choose to build the skills of your staff with one of the training providers featured in this brochure! I hope the wide range of courses and other development opportunities you find here will support you in improving your provision in a structured and managed way. We will continue to do everything we can to offer the early years and childcare sector a full, balanced and coherent programme, to meet changing needs and improve outcomes for all children.

Designated/Named Persons in settings guidance for early years and childcare settings Cambridgeshire County Council recognises the importance of designated, appropriately trained key personnel in each setting as a significant feature in ensuring quality. We strongly recommend that you ensure that your setting has suitable appropriately trained people undertaking these roles. In each of your provisions (excluding childminders) there should be a designated person for: Child Protection Special Needs Equalities (named person) The designated/named person in each of these areas should be a senior member of staff (Level 3 with at least two years post-qualifying experience) who is on site. It is important that part-time and shift hours are covered, so there may need to be more than one designated person for each area of work in a setting. The team funds a maximum of two places per setting. If your setting wishes to train more than two people you may do so but will be required to pay for the extra places. The cost is 62 per person, subject to availability; no bursary is available for additional staff. Designated Persons should update their training every three years by attending a Refresher Course. Should settings require additional designated persons they may access training at a cost of 62 per place This Training and Support Programme offers courses for the above roles which reflect the associated responsibilities, current best practice and legislation. These courses highlight local reporting and recording procedures which must be followed by Cambridgeshire settings. For Child Protection Designated Persons we would recommend that in addition to our training courses practitioners should also access courses provided by the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB).
