Guest Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi someone posted a link showing all the acceptable qualifications for OFSTED but I'm afraid i can't find it. Can someone please tell me whether someone with an APEL level 3 PLAYWORK qualification is able to be classed in ratios as qualified to supervise 2-4 year olds and/or 22months old ? My gut is telling me no - but can someone please advise. thanks. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblejack Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I am sure the answer is yes. As a level 3 you are qualified to supervised. I had to APEL my pre- 1989 qualiification to satisfy Ofsted. They may move the goal post in the future though. I shall worry about that when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucie Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 i thought that playwork only covered 4 - 16? or is that just the new qualification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belle06 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi here is the link to the Childrens workforce development council which shows nationally reognised qualifications and levels for different positions. CWDC Qualifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I actually asked Ofsted a very similar question last week, can I count a member of staff with Cache Playwork level 3 as qualified within the preschool for deputy role. They sent me the link above to the CWDC site. He said that the staff may have to do additional training such as BTTM and FSC as these are not covered within the playwork modules. Hope that helps.
