My Network co-ordinator has had a childminder on the network pulled up on her Ofsted inspection because she didn't now anything about the 'Common Core Skills' When the childminder asked the inspector what they were she said she didn't know and told her to go to her Network! She gave her 2 weeks to find out about it and was going back to re-inspect!
Our lovely co-ordinator has found out all about it now (there will be training - next year!!) She has printed out all the info but you can find it here: www.everychildmatters.gov.uk/deliveringservices/commoncore/
Hope that works - have just copied it of the paper she gave me!
I think for the moment as long as you are aware of this and can give a basic summary of what it is then they will leave you alone! It may well be that it is just this one inspector, they do love to have a wild card to throw in dont they! Any way just thought forwarned is forarmed!
