PACEY launches online consultation on CPD

The Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY) is consulting with practitioners on the continued professional development (CPD) support they require in the future.

PACEY’s online consultation, open to all childcare professionals in England and Wales until 15 December, sets out three potential ways to support childminders, nannies and nursery workers to make improvements to their childcare practice and plan for their own development.

It also seeks to find out practitioners’ motivation to undertake CPD. According to PACEY, respondents so far have said that being able to offer higher quality of care to children and families is their main motivator.

Feedback from the consultation will be used to help PACEY decide upon the best framework for its CPD support to members in the future. It will also determine the type and mix of training members should be asked to undertake to achieve PACEY’s Professional Standards, and to develop the structure needed to best support practitioners in working towards them.
