Help with New Diploma

**Muckypups** · 17-01-2011, 02:51 PM

Hi guys - I am about to start task 1 on the assignment and am after some advice. It states to produce and information sheet outlining the current legislation for home based childcare and the role of the regulatory bodies. The regulatory bodies Im ok on its the legislation Im stuck on - I assume this is the every child matters / EYFS and child protection / childrens act but there are so many legislation with regards to notifiable diseases etc that it would take pages and pages to outline them all..... Anyone completed this or had any pointers from their tutors on what MUST be included ?
Thanks

Look in your CYPOP 5 Unit... they have a hole list in there covering most of them.

Let me know when you get to the task about the business plan... I'm drowing in that one!

Hi
If you mean task 1 on CYP Core 3.3 Understanding how to safeguard the wellbeing of children and young people. Task1, point 1: Current legislations, guidelines etc etc. If thats the one u are talking about then just thought id let you know i wrote up on the following:
Every Child Matters
Chilcare Act 2004
Childrens Act 1989
2002 Education Act
United Nations Conventions on the Rights of Children
E-Safety 2004
EYFS Statutory Framework
Also added a write up of a serious case review - i chose Baby P report.

Hope this is of help?
My tutor said id done everything needed (and more) for this 1st point so would have thought if you added the above that should be enough...

Hi I agree I have just read through what is required for task 5 not sure where to start, I thought a leaflet....... way to much info required

**soretha** · 21-01-2011, 08:11 PM

does anyone have some advise, help to offer with task 4 the business plan? Never done a business plan in my life and not sure where to start. Found a good example on the net, safed the link and now eveything was changed and the link doens't work and I do not seem to find it again.
Help please!!
I also have atsk 5,6 and 7 left and doing my head in!!!

**a3human** · 23-01-2011, 03:00 PM

All of them seem to do my head in!
I skipped the business plan for now as it's just a nightmare having to guess! I can understand this being needed for grants and stuff... but gee.... it's a waste of time for me now! lol!

I skipped the ones I struggled with.. and now need to face them!
Task 5 - What size will this leaflet be, because I recon It's pretty huge! lol
Task 7 - About to try this one now... could they fit any more things in that one sentence??

Any pointers for these... or references?
I'm fed up!!!

**number53** · 29-01-2011, 08:09 PM

Have just signed up so am new to all this; I have struggled too with the tasks and left 5 & 7 right until the end!! I am still unclear on task 5, seems like far too much info for a leaflet.........am starting to panic as they all have to be submitted by Monday!

**missymood** · 31-01-2011, 02:31 PM

Hi
I am doin this aswell and am on task 4. Have just listed what money I have available. SO for me £250.00 to start which will pay for extra toys required for under 18mnths, multicultural toys/resources, changing mat, non latex gloves for nappy changes and things lke that. I already have buggy and travel cot, highchair. also I put down cost of advertising and ink and paper!!

I must admit they seem to want so much info on these questions it is making my brain hurt as I am also in the middle of my level 2 on Learndirect!!

**missymood** · 31-01-2011, 02:32 PM

Hi when we do a task do you acutally submit it live and do you have to put a covering sheet with it! I am a little confused as I have just saved them without submitting them yet. What does everyone else do?

**number53** · 31-01-2011, 09:19 PM

Hi, I have saved all of mine in word, am going submit them all at once.......tonight hopefully! They have driven me mad and taken ages to complete

Only just started this and i am in a panic already.

How much do you write for each task??

I only on task 1 and in a panic as i dont know how to word it.

**Allie** · 17-03-2011, 08:18 PM

I would reccommend you get the book Home Based Childcare for childminders and nannies by Sheila Riddall-Leech it really supports the new level 3 unit CYPOP5
