NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION IN INTEGRATED CENTRE LEADERSHIP

The National Professional Qualification in Integrated Centre Leadership (NPQICL) is the first national programme for leaders within multi-agency, early years settings. The programme forms part of a series of initiatives developed to support recommendations in the government Green Paper Every Child Matters. There are more than 3,000 integrated children's centres around the country with government plans to expand this to 3,500 by 2010. The qualification seeks to provide leaders/managers and emerging leaders/managers of integrated centres, with an opportunity to create an ethos of community partnership working by co-ordinating coherent and seamless high-quality services for children and families.
