Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce: Part 7 - Understanding how to work well with others

Two comparatively small units aim to provide vital skills when it comes to working with colleagues, parents and professionals, says Mary Evans.

Undertaking the Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce is a bit like doing a jigsaw with learners adding more and more units to complete it.

Just as people grappling with a jigsaw need to remember not to focus exclusively on the corners but to keep an eye out for the little pieces that complete the picture, learners must not overlook the importance of the smaller units in the CYPW.

Two of the smallest units are 'Develop positive relationships with children and young people' and 'Working together for the benefit of children and young people'. The former is worth just one credit and is expected to require only eight guided learning hours, while the latter is valued at two credits and takes 15 guided learning hours. Both are key to effective practice.
