The Right Training to Give Young Children the Right Start (2007)
The Childcare Partnerships in two local authority areas commissioned this research on the effectiveness of training for early education and childcare practitioners. The research was conducted during 2006 in the Scottish Borders and in Dumfries & Galloway. Work included: a survey of the qualifications and experiences of early education and childcare practitioners (statutory, voluntary and private sector); interviews with select early education/childcare practitioners and managers on the quality and value of the training they have received; and focus groups with those responsible for developing training provision. Both the full and summary reports are available from Children in Scotland.
