Welcome to the Rochdale Early Years and Childcare Training and Support Brochure for Autumn Term 2019 The Rochdale early years and childcare training and support brochure is primarily aimed at early years,

childcare and play work providers who are registered with Ofsted on either the compulsory or voluntary

registers. The book has been re-developed after receiving an overwhelming response for its return from

recent setting consultation. However as we utilise the training portal more easily than preparing a

brochure, the training programme may be updated throughout the term and therefore the list of courses

in this brochure may not display as an exhaustive list. Please use the link below to ensure you reach the

most updated version of information and courses.

www.ourrochdale.org.uk

The brochure and the training portal are excellent tools to support all early years and childcare

practitioners to build on their learning, providing courses from basic, intermediate to advanced levels of

training including:

Safeguarding and Welfare Requirement Training - enabling you to meet the welfare

requirements.

Learning and Development Training - helping you to develop your skills.

Planning - The training programme will now be planned around an academic year (September to July)

in place of the usual financial year programme (April to March). The annual plan from September 2019 to

31st July 2020 is displayed on pages 4-7 which will enable you to plan your training more effectively,

however the dates and times of the sessions will continue to be advertised on the training portal termly.

Additional courses may be added throughout the year to ensure flexibility to meet local priorities, sector

changes and practitioner requests.

Please take time to read the brochure and select the membership package and training courses that are

right for your setting and your practitioners.

It is good practice that all early years, childcare and play practitioners including childminders, should

access appropriate training or continuous professional development each year. Some training is a legal

requirement for example safeguarding, but other training should be planned to support practitioners in

areas they need to develop or to deliver new initiatives.

“An effective and well-established programme of professional development helps practitioners to

improve their knowledge, understanding and practice”. Ofsted Early Years Inspection Handbook

April 2018.”

We would strongly suggest when planning your setting, staff and childminding training, you

should take into account:

Reflective Practice - Ofsted asks that you evaluate your practice and record your improvements and

areas of development.

“Leaders and managers of settings should have an accurate view of the quality of their provision

and know what to improve. Inspectors will consider how well a setting evaluates and knows its

own strengths and weaknesses and how it can improve or maintain its high standards.” Ofsted

Early Years Inspection Handbook April 2018.

Evidence of continuous improvement:

Your training record can contribute to this.

Any service level agreements or school/setting development plans.

Local and national requirements and priorities such as Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS),

speech and language requirements, tracking children’s progress, readiness for school, home

learning environment, planning for next steps to meet children’s needs.

All of the above should inform your training plan.

We would also suggest the following as examples of good practice:

Identify the training needs of all individual members of staff and support them to access training

which develops their skills, understanding and knowledge in those areas.

Agree training and development plans with all staff members as part of the supervision cycle.

Seek to ensure all staff access training above and beyond statutory requirements.

Consider how individuals attending training, feedback any learning to their peer group and implement

any actions identified – for example use of a “cascading” pro-forma or feedback at a staff meeting by

evidencing changes in Self Evaluation Form (SEF) as a result.

Evaluate how the training benefits children in the setting.

A wide range of activities can also contribute to continuous professional development, these

might include:

Attendance at training, conferences, professional events, development meetings and transition and

moderation.

Individual research and practice reflection.

Peer shadowing, mentoring and advisory team support.

Accessing EYFS forum.

Training Membership Scheme

We have recently reviewed the way the current membership scheme is used and the way we plan and advertise courses; this has been based on the needs of Rochdale Borough children and settings from consultation.

Planning - The training programme will now be planned around an academic year (September to July) in place of the usual financial year programme (April to March). The annual plan of courses will be available from September pg.4-7; however the dates and times of the sessions will be advertised on the training portal termly. Additional courses may be added throughout the year to ensure flexibility to meet local priorities, sector changes and practitioner requests.

“Leaders ensure practitioners receive focused and highly effective professional development. Practitioners’ subject, pedagogical content and knowledge consistently builds and develops over time, and this consistently translates into improvements in the teaching of the curriculum.” Ofsted Early Years Inspection Handbook – Draft for Consultation – January 2019.

For the 2019-20 scheme, during the cross over, this will mean, if your setting applied for a membership package from April it will run from April 2019 to the end of July 2020, increasing your membership term in which to use your membership places. The following year the scheme will start from the new academic year September 2020 to the end of July 2021.

Benefits of joining the membership scheme:

Option to purchase a size of package to suit your setting needs.

Option to purchase more than 1 package and mix and match the various sizes.

You can apply for the membership at any time throughout the membership period.

Early Years Childcare Advisory Team (EYCAT) courses are now part of the scheme, you can use your membership place for all courses advertised on the training portal.

Members will have priority over waiting lists.

Option to purchase additional places at a discounted rate.

One Free High 5 verification visit per setting, per academic year for: o Childminders who purchase any size package o Nurseries/playgroups who purchase a small package or larger

The new show my training statement, soon to be amended to ‘show my training history’ tab on the training portal will keep you up-to-date with your booking history and enable you to keep a track of when you have reached your limit of membership places.

How much does it cost?

Annual cost and membership places available

Annual cost Number of membership places

Minimum Package £50 3

Small Package £82 5

Medium Package £165 10

Large Package £264 16

9

Terms and Conditions

The membership places may be used for any course of your choice.

A limit of 2 delegates per setting can be booked via the online training portal, however additional staff can be added to the reserve list by contacting the training team and will be allocated at least 3 days before the course.

Unused membership places will not be carried forward and will need to be used by 31 July 2020.

Once you have paid your membership fee, you will have to continue for the full period of the scheme.

Additional Places Where members wish to purchase courses above and beyond the numbers specified above these will be discounted by 15% of the non-member cost, with the exception of courses advertised at the Rochdale settings standard rate (£15). The Rochdale settings standard rate is the same cost for both members and non-members. There is no limit on the amount of additional courses that may be booked.

You also have the option of being charged for a course rather than using one of your membership places, this may be because the course is cheaper and you want to use your membership place for a more expensive course, please use the members charge payment option on the training portal.

Non-Attendance Fees (DNA)

Non-attendance fees are there to encourage delegates to cancel their place within the 24 hour cancellation timescale, this enables the team to offer that place to those on the reserve list. The fee remains the same as last year at £25, however for members that selected the membership place when they originally booked, the place will not be lost and can be used to book on a different course.

How do I pay for the membership scheme?

The application asks you to indicate if you wish to receive an invoice or if you want to pay debit or credit card over the phone. If you tick invoice you will receive the invoice within 10 days and you will need to follow the payment options stated on the invoice. If you select payment by debit or credit card, on receipt of your application a member of the training team will contact you to take your payment. Any additional course bookings or courses you have chosen to be charged will be entered onto your termly training statement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a

booking?

All bookings are now entered through the online training portal which is hosted by

the Our Rochdale directory.

Please select the following link ourrochdale.org.uk or alternatively type it into

your browser. Select children and families service and from the childcare

provider course booking page download the full instructions.

How do I join the

membership

scheme?

From the training portal from the childcare provider course booking page, you

will see a number of downloads which include, membership application, training

book and instructions for the portal. Click on the appropriate green download

box and you can either save and/or print the information.

If I’m a member of

staff from a group

setting, who

books my

training?

Group setting - You should have 2 staff members who have been

nominated to enter all staff training, this is usually the manager/deputy

manager or another designated person. Please share the same log-in

details as this supports the Local Authority when creating training reports

and keeps all your setting training history in one place which can be

viewed by selecting the my course bookings link.

Childminders will be the designated person to book courses for their

childminding assistants.

Children centre staff please see your designated person to book your

training.

Can I book a

course over the

telephone?

No, unfortunately not. All bookings must be made through the training portal; this

is the only way to book your courses. The only exception is if it is a last minute

booking offered from a reserve list or you are offered more than 2 places per

setting, in which case the training team can book that place for you from the back

door of the portal.

How many places

can I book?

Places are limited to 2 places per setting, unless otherwise specified in the

details. However, if you wish for more than 2 places please contact the training

team and they will enter the additional staff details onto a reserve list. In the

event that the course is undersubscribed we will contact you to offer the extra

places. The training team will book any additional places on the portal as the

system doesn’t allow a setting to book more than 2 staff members per course.

Please note; Members of the training scheme will have priority over waiting lists

as stated in the schemes terms and conditions.

How do I receive

confirmation that

I’m booked on a

course?

Once you have submitted your booking you will receive a confirmation email. The

email will display the course title, reference number, date and staff name. Please

enter all your course bookings onto your training course calendar/diaries as there

will be no further reminders.

I didn’t receive a

confirmation

email; do I still

have to pay the

non-attendance

fee / admin

charge?

Unfortunately yes. If you have booked a training course through the training

portal and have not received a confirmation email, it is your responsibility to

contact the training team so we can check that you have been allocated a place.

You should always receive a confirmation email. The main reason you might not

get an email is because the email address has been entered incorrectly.

http://www.ourrochdale.org.uk/

11

Payment

options?

Once you have selected the course that you wish to attend, the booking

application form will ask you to select a payment option as shown below. Please

select one of the following:

Members - 1 Free Place course – select this option if you wish to use one of

your allocated membership free places.

Members - 2 Free Place course – select this option if the course description

states that 2 free places need to be used. This may be due to being a full day

course, with the exception of First Aid.


states that 3 free places need to be used.





Members Charge – select this option if you have either used all your free place

allocation or you choose to pay for the course rather than use a free place, for

example, it may be a less expensive course.

Non-member – this cost applies to practitioners from Rochdale Borough settings

that have not applied to join the membership scheme.

Out of Borough – this cost applies to practitioners from settings in neighbouring

authorities. This cost carries a 25% surcharge than for Rochdale borough setting

charges.

Free Course – Select this option when there is no charge for the course.

(please be careful not to select the members free place option)

Please note: Since April 2019 EYCAT courses are now part of the training

membership scheme, therefore if you book any courses beginning with the

reference number EYCAT you can now use a membership place as shown

above.

Children Centre Staff – Please enter ‘Free Course’ for all training sessions.

What is the

process if I wish

to cancel a

course place?

A course can be cancelled online up to 24 hours before the course start time.

You cannot withdraw later than this and a non-attendance fee will apply.

Log into the directory in the usual way and search for the course. Halfway down

the booking page, under the heading My Bookings, it will display the name of

the person that is booked on that course. Simply click the cancel button on the

right hand side.

You will receive an email to say that you have cancelled the booking. (As long as

you entered the email correctly at the point of booking).

What if a staff

member leaves

and is booked on

a course?

The manager/designated person must cancel the booking within 24 hours of the

course start date (see how to cancel above).

Please provide the training team with the staff leaving date so we can amend our

database and ensure your setting doesn’t incur any costs after this date.

12

What happens if a

course is

cancelled or

postponed?

Every effort is made not to cancel or postpone courses, but this may happen due

to circumstances outside of our control. If a course has to be cancelled, you will

be contacted and offered an alternative course, subject to availability. If we are

not able to offer you an alternative course, any charges or membership places

used will be credited to your setting.

My course

bookings (setting

training history)

From the ‘childcare provider course booking’ page, underneath book or cancel a course here tab you will find the ‘my course bookings’ tab. When you select this tab it will display 2 new tabs, 1 for active and 1 for previous training. A full training report can be found at the bottom of this page by clicking on the ‘green tab’ that states ‘show my training statement’. The title name will soon be changed to say ‘show my training history’. Please note you need to be signed into your account to access this report. The report will also display your payment and membership places used.

Non attendance

charges

Non Attendance Fees are there to encourage delegates to cancel their place within the 24 hour cancellation timescale, this enables the team to offer that place to those that are on the reserve list. The fee remains the same as last year at £25.

Members Place – £25 charge, irrespective of the course cost. However if you selected one of your membership places when you originally booked the session,

the place will not be lost and can therefore be used to book on a different course.

Members Charged - £25 charge, irrespective of the course cost.

Non-members – £25 charge, irrespective of the course cost.

Free Course – £25 charge. (With the exception of moderation meetings)

* 2 or more session courses: There will still be a charge if a practitioner fails to

attend any subsequent sessions, for example if you have booked a two session

course but only attend 1 session this would still prevent us from being able to

offer a full place to a practitioner from the reserve list.

Please note: We regret we are unable to apply waivers for absence of any kind.

Payment of

training

At the end of term, each provider will be issued with a training statement. The

statement will list all the training that staff have attended/not attended, any

charges required and/or any free places used.

You will have approximately 14 working days from the date on your statement to

pay the amount owing. Late payments will incur an additional cost of £20 to

cover administration costs.

If for any reason you are unable to pay within this timescale, please notify the

training team as soon as possible.

Who is

responsible for

the non-

attendance fee?

The setting holds overall responsibility to the local authority for payment of non-

attendance fees; however it will be the settings owner/manager to decide if to

charge the individual practitioner.

Additional

support to

participate in

training

If you require any additional support in order to participate in the training, or you

require any disability access, please enter the details under additional

requirements when booking your course. Alternately you can contact the training

Approximate time guideline

Emotional Abuse Emotional abuse of children is the most common form of abuse. However, without visible signs such as bruising and injury or disclosure from the child or parent it is particularly difficult to prove this form of abuse.

30 mins

Physical Abuse People who physically abuse children can be anyone who comes into contact with a child. They can be teachers, next door neighbours or a member of the family. In fact, a person who abuses a child is often closely related to the child: it is very rarely a stranger.

Child Sexual Abuse a Just Time Digital Package Following a Serious Case Review, Children’s Social Care received a number of single agency recommendations that need to be responded too, specifically around Interfamilial Sexual Abuse. The requirement is that practitioners recognise and make effective interventions in cases of sexual abuse. As a result of the recommendations a learning pack has been developed using materials provided by the NSPCC. The resource comprises a variety of learning activities, including research, read and reflect worksheets (to use collaboratively with colleagues), further reading and research.

Assert Yourself – How to Communicate Effectively (Suitable for Managers) When we find ourselves under pressure or in confrontational situations, we may react aggressively - or we may back down and say nothing. Neither approach is likely to result in a positive outcome and we’re likely to come away from the situation wishing we’d handled things differently. Failure to assert ourselves and communicate clearly can have a negative impact on our interactions with colleagues, clients and customers and is likely to affect our personal effectiveness and productivity as well.
