切斯特大学第一批EYPS将毕业

The University of Chichester were recently delighted to learn that all seven of their first group of candidates have been awarded Early Years Professional Status (EYPS). Following a rigorous process of training and assessment, and careful scrutiny by internal and external moderators of their work, the Children’s Workforce Development Council (CWDC) has granted them validation.

This means that these Early Years Professionals will now be expected not only to lead delivery of the new Early Years Foundation Stage in their work settings but also to help other staff develop and improve their practice.

Ruth Bradley, Coordinator for the EYPS Programme, and Pia Parry, Subject Leader for Early Years and Lead Assessor on the Programme, congratulate these talented, highly motivated and dedicated professionals and wish them well in their new roles.

Their continuing professional development will be supported by events and meetings designed to maintain and sustain them as they work to ensure that they remain key to improving outcomes for the children and families with whom they work and to raising the quality of early years provision.

Further candidates seeking to achieve EYPS will shortly begin their training pathways, and recruitment is going ahead for practitioners wishing to start pathways in January 2008 and the team look forward to working with them.
