Translating Policy into Practice


The aim of this e-Learning course is to increase your confidence with what legislation, standards, frameworks, guidance and codes of practice are, and the importance of them. Designed to help you learn how these affect your childminding business, the course will assist you on how to link these to your practice and what roles and responsibilities are involved in these.

The course covers 12 key pieces of legislation, two standards, six frameworks and 16 pieces of guidance and codes of practice. 

This course is fully funded by the Scottish Government with CPL made available to all childminders as part of the important childminder retention strand of the Programme for Scotland's Childminding Future (PSCF).
