anju Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hello, Can someone 'working towards' either a level 2 or level 3 qualification count in the '50% of other staff' requirement? I can't find anything definitive about it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi Anju, The statutory framework states that one member of staff must hold at least a level 3 and that 50% of your other staff must have at least level 2. So, no, they can't be working towards that level 2; they must have achieved it. Page 29 of the statutory document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anju Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Thanks Helen - I had thought I remembered something about ‘working towards’ but it was from many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 You're welcome! Are you, like many others, finding it hard to recruit qualified practitioners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anju Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 (edited) Yes! It’s hard to recruit anyone vaguely suitable, and even harder to find anyone qualified. Edited February 15 by anju 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Such a difficult situation- after all the good things that were put in place- graduate fund, EYPS, Foundation Degrees, all excellent at attracting and keeping high quality staff. But the stress of the work and generally poor pay has ultimately led to us losing many, many wonderful early years teachers and practitioners.

anju Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Yes, quite depressing and demoralising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
