Research Abstract |
The Sure Start project has resulted in over 3, 500 children's centres being set up in England. They provide multi-integrated activities for children and families. The educational background of the workers in 8 centres in 6 areas of England was investigated by survey questionnaire and visits. Many staff members had several qualifications from university, further education college and other providers. A national framework of qualifications enable workers to progress along the road of lifelong professional development. It was also found that higher education providers were taking responsibility for evaluating many aspects of the provision as well as providing the training courses for the workers.
