The GLF is part of the Sure Start, Early Years and Childcare Grant. The funding is provided to help secure more graduate Early Years Professionals to lead practice in settings in the private, voluntary and independent (PVI) sectors. The CWDC is helping to create the supply through developing more graduates with EYPS while local authorities are passporting funding to settings to support them to recruit, train or retain graduate practice leaders.
HOW MUCH MONEY IS AVAILABLE?
The total amount available between 2008 and 2011 is £305m, made up of £232m for settings, routed via local authorities, and £73m for the CWDC to deliver EYPS training and accreditation. The local authority element includes £57m from the Children's Plan to encourage faster employment of graduates in the most disadvantaged areas.
