Guest Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hi - could someone clarify a vey quick point for me - if you have a member of staff training at Level 3 are they counted as a L3 member of staff during their training ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 My understanding is No, not until you have a certificate or proof of passing the course in some way, we used to accept a letter saying they had completed and passed the course from the provider as it sometimes took months to get the certificate..

louby loo Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Same as Inge says. Unless we have either a certificate or headed letter from trainer saying they have passed they are not classed as qualified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjayne Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 but there is the issue that as a level 3 in training they should have the opportunity to work unsupervised and in a role where they have responsibilities in order to satisfy the criteria - as long as you make that clear to all concerned and ensure they are not counted as qualified to level 3 before they are then where is the issue ?

Ours do all of the above - just not counted as qualified in ratios. We are in one big hall so they are never 'on their own' as such. But all are CRB checked so do nappies/toilet runs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Well Ofsted allowed my Deputy to become Deputy before she had finished her L3. Although she had worked for us for a number of years and this was 2/3 years ago. Of course they would probably have told someone else something different.

They used to allow it with discretion before EYFS, been a lot stricter since it came in - Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
