Work Matters: Training - City and Guilds - New awards to support parents

Careers & Training
Qualifications for those working with parents are outlined by Gill Mason, community and society advisor at City and Guilds.

Parenting education and support has become a significant tool in tackling social exclusion and anti-social behaviour. This has resulted in a professionalisation of the sector to ensure that support is acceptable, comparable and effective.

In response to this, City and Guilds (C&G) has developed relevant qualifications to enable practitioners to achieve recognition of their skills and knowledge at appropriate levels

The C&G award/certificates in Work with Parents are new courses on the Qualification and Credit Framework and have the potential to be placed on the new emerging Integrated Qualification Framework (IQF), as they allow for progression, continuing professional development and mobility across the children's workforce.
