Work Matters: Continuing Professional Development - Connect with parents

Careers & Training
Two new qualifications focus on working with parents and leadership roles. Karen Faux reports.

City & Guilds is launching an award to help practitioners work effectively with parents. The QCF Award/Certificate in Work with Parents is designed to assist mobility across the children's workforce.

The awarding body's community and society advisor, Gill Mason, says, 'The certificate at level 3 will enable practitioners to support parents to improve understanding of their own role and their children's social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs in the context of family life.'

Practitioners can choose a combination of level 2 and 3 units from a range of 23, such as building and maintaining relationships with parents and communities, engaging young parents and fathers with their children's development, working with groups of parents and effective communication.
