National CPD Opportunities
The Early Years Education Recovery Programme is a package of workforce training, qualifications, support and guidance for the early years sector to support staff and settings address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the youngest and most disadvantaged children.
In addition to the Nuffield Early Language Intervention, Home Learning Environment and Early Years Initial Teacher Training, the Early Years Education Recovery Programme also includes;
- Online Early Years Child Development Training - free, universally accessible to all, designed to help practitioners improve their knowledge and understanding of child development so that they can support children in early education settings.
- Stronger Practice Hubs - a national network of hubs which will connect providers and act as a source of high-quality, evidence-based information.
- Level 3 Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) - SENCO training to help identify and support children with additional needs ( no longer free but still available)
- Professional Development Programme (PDP3) - providing early years practitioners with training on communication and language, early maths and personal, social and emotional development
- NPQ in Early Years Leadership - helping leaders develop their skills in managing and leading high-quality education and care
