Careers & Training
It's easy to talk about integrated working, less easy to do it without training. Karen Faux reports on a new course.

While integrated working is recognised as being essential in the drive to place children at the heart of services, more training is required to give practitioners a clear understanding of how they can share resources and work with colleagues from other services.

'Integrated Practice: A Programme of Learning for Early years and Childcare Practitioners' represents 20 hours of learning across two units. It is designed by children's charity 4Children and awarding body Edexcel to be a relatively short, but effective, learning module for every type of practitioner.
