EYPS Support: Partnership with families and carers

EYPS trainer Colette Bentley, head of EYPS training at Edge Hill University, Lancaster, gives the lowdown on how one of her students has met Standard 30: Communicating and working in partnership with families and carers.

Betsey Moss has finished the training element of the Full Pathway and is now in the process of assessment and validation against the 39 standards for EYPS. Betsey has successfully completed three setting placements during the nine-month training and worked with children from birth to five.

This example demonstrates how she has engaged in a range of activities in order to meet some of the standards under the heading of Standard 30. This emphasises the importance of establishing positive, respectful and constructive relationships with families and carers to ensure the development of effective communication systems. This standard involves demonstrating professional competencies and requires the candidate to provide an effective role model for colleagues.
