Certificate in Working Together for Children

Working with children requires practitioners to develop knowledge, skills, and values in a wide range of topics such as communication, transitions, relationships, health, play, participation, working with parents, early intervention and safeguarding. This certificate teaches all these subjects and more in the context of current law and social policy – and emphasises the need for different agencies and practitioners to work together. It contributes substantially to meeting professional and occupational standards in childcare, health, social care and educational children’s services, developing knowledge and skills highly relevant to all those working with children aged 0–12.
