Justin Madders – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Justin Madders on 2016-10-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the effect of the changes to the Early Years Educator apprenticeship standard introduced in August 2014.

Robert Halfon

The Early Years Educator apprenticeship standard at Level 3 remains in development and so has not yet been published for use by the sector. Therefore, it is not possible to make any assessment of its effect at this point.

The Department continues to work closely with the Early Years Trailblazer to develop apprenticeship standards for key roles in the sector.
