Trying to get hold of cheap copies of some PLA publications to help me ith my core unit 3 and optional unit 3 of my Diploma in Preschool Practice. Have managed to source 2 on ebay but nothing on amazon anyone know of anywhere else i could get them from (libraries are a no no too!)
Looking for:
The complete guide to policies etc
Accident prevention/first aid
Finance in early years settings
Preschool Comm and constituitions
Complete guide to Incorporation for pre-schools
Preschools as employers
Risk Management
Parental stake
Working towards better practice

If anyone has any old copies to sell I may also be interested...getting desperate as this is all recommended reading!!! Going to do some more searching....

Thanks

If you contact your regional PLA office hey might haveoffice copies they could let you look at. I did my DPP through the PLA, before CACH took it over, and was able access their resources that way.

Have you asked your E.Y.A.T. or your Development worker - they may be able to help.

Just thought - I uploaded the PLA constitution here yesterday - have you done a search as there may be loads of others uploaded too

If you can hold on until Monday I'm sure we have at least one of these publications filed neatly (back of cupboard) at pre-school. I'll keep you updated.

Just had a thought - have you tried ebay?

Hi
Managed to get the committees and constitution one off ebay. Theres nothing on hte PLA website as they are books and they want you to pay for them (quite pricey if you have to buy them all full price!)
Will keep looking!

Just a thought - doesn't your setting have these? Does your area have a local preschool learning alliance group who could help?
