Nutbrown Review on early education and childcare qualifications
The Government announced an independent review, led by Professor Cathy Nutbrown, to consider how best to strengthen qualifications and career pathways in the foundation years.
Professor Nutbrown has now produced her interim report. This can be found via a link on the right.
The review looks at qualifications – both for young people who are new to the early education and childcare sector, and for those already employed - and also how to promote progression into the labour market, higher level education and other training routes.
Professor Nutbrown conducted a large-scale public consultation to gather evidence towards her review. The report of this call for evidence was released alongside her interim report, and can be found via the link on the right.
