I have my Reg. Certificate and I'm getting NCMA Membership, Insurance and Tool Kit for free through the Sure Start Start-Up scheme. Feel like telling Sure Start to stick it where the Sun Don't Shine at the moment :cool: but it is worth £140 !!!
I phoned NCMA told them I had certificate, have completed their form, and completed the grant forms with Sure Start - when will I get my stuff? They said it will take a few weeks to process but if my Development Worker e-mails to say I have completed the grant forms and it is being processed them they will issue me with a cover note that will last 28 days - by which everything should have been processed.
Bottom line is I have 2 mindee's waiting.
I have a friend who is willing to loan me 2 NCMA contacts (I'll pay them back when I get my tool kit).
So if I have Certificate, Insurance and NCMA contacts is there any reason I can't start? Surely the fact that I won't have the 'official' NCMA Register, Medication/Accident Book etc. won't matter as long as I 'do' have a register of Name Date time in/out etc. and I 'do' have a record of accidents/medication given.
I understood it is a requirement that I have a register and noted all medication/accidents etc but does it HAVE to be NCMA's.
Sorry this is long winded and rambling - but by development worker is REALLY getting on my pip now :angry:
