Do you have a Level 5 QCF Children’s Care, Learning and Development (CCLD) Advanced Practice Pathway qualification?
We’re piloting a project to support people with a Level 5 QCF Children’s Care, Learning and Development (CCLD) Advanced Practice qualification to step into level 5 leadership and management roles in early years and childcare.
What’s the pilot about?
Launched by Dawn Bowden MS, Minister for Children and Social Care, this project will test the AWIF for early years and childcare managers’ workbook to make sure it supports practitioners like you to progress into leadership.
What will you need to do?
- Go through the AWIF workbook, assess its effectiveness, suggest improvements, and take part in testing a revised or digital version.
- Work with us and local authorities (if applicable) and join short online check-ins to discuss the workbook every two weeks from May to September 2025.
Why get involved?
- You’ll influence a resource designed for leadership progression
- You’ll understand how your qualification supports management roles
- You’ll help shape a tool that can support career growth, especially in Flying Start settings, where leadership and management skills are essential
- You’ll be part of an innovative project that looks at a digital solution.
