Piglet48 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Can someone clarify, whether staff training towards Level 3 with no level 2, can be counted in the ratios or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Hi Piglet48 They can be counted in ratio providing you have enough % qualified to carry them as unqualified in your qualified:unqualified staff ratio as the framework. One of the questions on the proposed changes consultation was around whether someone training for a level could be counted at one level below e.g. an L3 trainee could be counted as L2 for ratio purposes, whilst I could see how it would help (including us) I’m not sure I agree with it, maybe after a certain % of the course has been done or so many hours in setting under their belts but not from day 1 🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Yes I was just going to suggest the same thing, and also what qualifications they already have. I had a member of staff who was actually a qualified teacher, but had come out of that because of the pressure. She had no NVQ and was doing her level 3, so I did count her in ratio.
