Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce, part 3: Promote children's welfare and well-being in the early years

The legal requirements relating to young children's welfare and well-being are brought together in one massive early years unit in the new Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce.
