Lecturer heads up SINA training

The recently re-launched Scottish Independent Nurseries Association has appointed early years lecturer and Nursery World contributor Alice Sharp to deliver work-based training from its new base in Glasgow. One of Ms Sharp's first tasks will be to steer the organisation through the process of being accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority to deliver SVQ training in early years care and education. The training will be co-ordinated from SINA's headquarters and will be open to practitioners in local authority nurseries and the voluntary sector as well as staff from independent nurseries.
