As with all professionals, quality childminders should take the opportunity to continue to develop their knowledge and skills throughout their career. This is not just a decision for childminders to take; one of the implications of childminders sitting within the regulatory framework of the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) is that they should undertake ongoing and continuing professional development. The SSSC Codes of Practice states “As a social service worker, you must be accountable for the quality of your work and take responsibility for maintaining and improving your knowledge and skills.”

This series of workshops offer childminders the opportunity to continue to broaden their knowledge base, enhance their skills and improve the quality of their childminding service. 

The range of topics will grow in response to childminders’ demands and SCSWIS requirements in line with good practice.
