Hi, do you have, or can you request a copy of your job description, roles and responsibilities?
The information that contains will help you to see what your setting and role expects of you and also enable you to match it all to the national
occupational standards - NOS - level 3 national occupational standards for children's care learning and development.
A level 3 handbook will also support what you need to do for this criteria:
http://www.silkysteps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16449For the Level 2 standards please see this page of CWDC
Two Codes of Practice:
Special educational needs code of practice
Early years and Childcare Code of practice
EYMP 4 professional practice in early years settings
The common core of skills and knowledge
The
Sector values and principles
The standards of England's eyfs hope to ensure the 5 outcomes of ECM - every child matters(Children's act 2004) are the focus for children's achievements.
The standards of other home nation frameworks
or policies if looking at them from a Local Authority perspective, also support settings in also accomplishing the positive outcomes of ECM for their children eg. NI's foundation stage & Wales' Foundation phase.
Scotland's Pre-birth to 3 & curriculum for excellence is built on Getting it right for every child 2011 in contrast to ECM.
------------------------------------
For performance, take a look at the following titles/standards and as you read each one ask yourself
'Am I expected to ...- CCLD 301 Develop and promote positive relationships?
- CCLD 302 Develop and maintain a healthy, safe and secure environment for children?
The health and safety at work act 1974 require settings to consider what's happening in their workplace and to ensure everything complies with the act's regulations
- CCLD 303 'Do I .... Promote children’s development?
- CCLD 304 Reflect on and develop practice
- CCLD 305 Protect and promote children’s rights
Confusion arises when each of the NOS unit pdfs are opened and the full extent of what a standard involves is seen. The way the content inside each unit pdf is laid out is to inform the Level 3 NVQ CCLD qualification.
The first five unit titles/standards - the ones above
301-305 are core units, mandatory for NVQ 3 learners where an additional 4 optional units are then also chosen, these would be relevant to a learner's role, responsibilities or possibly interests - 2 would be choosen from group 1
upto and including unit 313 and a further 2 from group 2
all the remaining units

You may find some of these standards do not reflect your role, duties and responsibilities and is possibly where the selection of a learner's NVQ 'optional units is more appropriate.
Draw links between these NOS and the standards of your home nation's ey's framework by getting to know your framework. The
4 home nation countries of the UK have individual frameworks for early childhood ..
1. England -
eyfs
2. Northern Ireland -
foundation
3. Scotland - prebirth to 3 and
Curriculum for excellence
4. Wales -
foundation phase
This thread shows one way to approach evaluating practice, and is good background reading for SCH 32 3.2 where through an assessor or tutor's workbased observation you'll be asked to
'Demonstrate use of feedback to evaluate own performance and inform development'
I hope this helps a little more xx
