Guest Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Sorry, another request... I need to find out the legislation which underpins the Birth to Three Matters Framework and despite searching for the last 2 hours, I can't come up with anything other than it is a result of the 'government's commitment to raising standards' which is all very good, but doesn't really help! I have done various Google searches, checked on the standards site and so on, but I can't seem to find what I am looking for. Maybe I'm on the right sites but just looking in the wrong places. Please help before I go mental! Thanks! Quote
Guest Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 To be honest I cannot remember when it all started have your tried the National Childcare Strategy, the Green Paper, Children's Act. So often these things take so long to come about - have you downloaded the BTTM as often it gives something in the introduction as to how it came about and refers to legislation etc. I am sure however someone will be able to direct you to the legislation where it was first mentioned Nikki Quote
Guest Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 referred to in the National Standards . other than that I thought it was guidance rather than legislation. Peggy Quote
Running Bunny Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Like Peggy, I don't think that it is underpinned by any legislation. There was a defninte need for 'something' for the under three age group and Birth to Three was born (poor pun, sorry!) It is a framework rather than a required curriculum, like the Foundation Stage. It will be underpinned by the Childcare Act 2006 in the EYFS when it is eventually published (not holding my breath for January!) Quote
