Packages

Continuous improvement is essential to the provision of high quality care. Professional child carers choosing to undertake study and/or professional development to upgrade their knowledge and skill base have a range of options. Self-Paced Learning Packages provide an opportunity for staff in children’s services to study a topic at their own pace. The Learning Packages which PSCTas will gradually make available online are ideal for a service to use as a whole staff, for room teams, or for individuals keen to gain knowledge in specific areas.

Each package contains self-help questions to guide the learner through the topic and assist in reflecting on what learning has taken place. The packages also contain assessment tasks which can be used as a basis for group discussion and further learning.
