Deb Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi Mind gone all blank. Can anyone remind me where it states that both deputy and manager need to be level 3 qualified. I know this came into force in September 2008. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The first bit of that is easy to answer: Page 31 of the Statutory Framework says "In registered settings other than childminding settings, all supervisors and managers must hold a full and relevant level 3 qualification (as defined by the Children’s Workforce Development Council (CWDC)) and half of all other staff must hold a full and relevant level 2 qualification (as defined by CWDC)." I shall look to see where it mentions the deputy needing a level 3 - but given that the deputy might be in a position to manage or supervise, perhaps you could assume the deputy needs a level 3 too. But I'm sure it says it somewhere... Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I think you can find this in the statutory framework for the eyfs- " Specific legal requirements all supervisors and managers must hold a full and relevant level 3 (as defined by the children's workforce development council and half of all other staff must hold a full and relevant level 2" about page 31 Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 EYFS states: In registered settings other than childminding settings, all supervisors and managers must hold a full and relevant level 3 qualification (as defined by the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC)) and half of all other staff must hold a full and relevant level 2 qualification (as defined by CWDC). and cant find it but something along the lines of in absence of supervisor a named deputy to take charge - which would mean they have to be level 3 as well....

hali Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 found it page 32 ....In registered group settings there must be a named deputy who is able to take charge in the absence of the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're right - I can't find it either. So really its a matter of interpretating what is written in the way I described earlier - if the deputy is able to be left in charge then they are acting as manager/supervisor and therefore needs a level 3.

Deb Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks everyone for your replies. It's one of those things, felt sure it was written somewhere in black and white, but am now wondering if I dreamt it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think you need the deputy to be a level 3 so when the manager/supervisor is out the building the child/adult ratio are with in the statatory requirements. Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
