There have been a lot of cms register with no experience and more and more with no children of their own who seem to think they can replace a well paid job with their cm income instantly and it doesn't happen like that in my experience. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect some level of training and five is a long time to get the Level 3 completed. All good cms undergo regular training anyway to extend and refresh their knowledge. It is just a shame that Ofsted don't always give credit for it
A lot have us have said for a long time that Safeguarding should be compulsory like First Aid and and an annual refresher for both of these would be a good idea as long as LAs can provide the training.
Well we all do EYFS and its not difficult to do it for wrap around care and can be fun if you involve the children as well. The 24-36mth summary is a pain, I think it should be done by the Health Visitors but to be honest we are all doing it by completing the LJs so its not that hard to do.
Corporal punishment goes without saying in our care and I guess if you are aware that it is happening at home or elsewhere in a child's life it may become a Child protection issue as would any other concerns we may have about a child.
I get the impression you are trying to provoke a discussion?
I can't see any problem with any of the above at all?
I have to say this seems a bit pointless as the new EYFS has been published.
