Hoolahoney Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Is Every child matters and the five outcomes still used/relevant under the new EYFS? I have googled but it is not at all clear if it has been archived or if we should still be using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi, Don't think we've 'spoken' before so HELLO! Every Child Matters and the five outcomes still form the overarching guidance of everything we do. I think possibly the reason you haven't found any other information shows this is still definitely the case. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyfs1966 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I heard that ECM was a Labour idea, and whilst it still underpins all we do, it is not "liked" by the ConDems, so they make little/no reference to it. So is it still there? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 No matter whose idea it was, it is still mandatory. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue R Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hello jojofr! Welcome indeed!! PRAMS is a system the EYFSF have developed for computerising learning journey/documentation. It has been very well received, although I haven't worked with it I'm afraid. Every Child Matters (ECM) underpins everything we do in early years - actually it is relevant up to 18 years, so I should do lots of research!The Five Outcomes come from ECM - Being healthy; Staying safe; Enjoying and achieving; Making a positive contribution; Achieving economic well-being. Here's a link http://eduwight.iow....iveOutcomes.pdf Tracking refers to how you show what the children are doing/how they have progressed towards the early learning goals (ELGs) Any more help you need - come here or pm me Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue R Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Tracking refers to how you show what the children are doing/how they have progressed towards the early learning goals (ELGs) Just thought, that looks like duplication. PRAMS is the EYFSF method of Tracking. Some LAs (mine included) have developed their own. This is why, working in a private Day Nursery that relies on support and funding from LA , I haven't much experience with PRAMS. Shame, it looks much simpler than the one I had to use.
