Case Study
You are the manager of a childcare setting with 5 room leaders and 1 deputy manager. The room leaders believe that all opportunities for training courses should be offered to them first to help them maintain their CPD, before going to any other staff. They also believe that only external training courses are counted as CPD. They are of the opinion that the lower-qualified staff should not need development as they get told what to do by their seniors.
- How can you change the thinking in the setting and implement a plan of CPD for all?
- How can you encourage the room leaders to be part of the CPD process for the lower-qualified staff, and vice versa?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
