I have been putting my thinking cap on (dangerous I know!!)
I get a little dissapointed that there are training workshops/sessions that are run during the week that I can't go on because I am working.
I do give up a lot of my free time going to training in the evenings and on Saturdays as well as attending committee meetings (as I am on Surrey County Childminding Association committee) and Childminding Support Meetings so it's not as if I am not willing to do things in my own time.
I was considering putting in the contracts that I would have 3 Development/Training days a year that would be fully paid.
I would of course try to get the training booked for a Friday as I don't work on a Friday but there are times that the courses are run on other 4 days of the week.
I would also undertake to give the parents at least 1 months notice that I require the day for training and give them confirmation that I have got a place on the course.
What do you think?
Do you think I will get away with it?
