Nursery World - EYPS standards reach final draft

The final version of the national standards that candidates for Early Years Professional Status (EYPS)will need to meet has been set out by the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC). The standards follow consultation, but remain in draft form until they have been tested in the pilot phase of training and assessment for EYPS, which starts in September.

The standards follow consultation, but remain in draft form until they have been tested in the pilot phase of training and assessment for EYPS, which starts in September.

All candidates will be assessed against the Standards in the same manner, irrespective of where they trained or their previous experience.

The CWDC will publish guidance for training providers later this month to 'illustrate the type of activities and responsibilities undertaken by the EYP; set out the scope of each Standard; provide examples of how each Standard can be demonstrated in different settings'.

The guidance will help assessors, trainers and candidates know what is expected of them, and employers to know what they should expect of an EYP.
