EYPS Support: The contribution of other professionals

Delyth Mathieson, early years project manager at Edge Hill University, Lancashire, explains how one EYPS student worked towards evidencing Standard 6: The contribution that other professionals within the setting and beyond can make to children's physical and emotional well-being, development and learning.

Lindsay Mc Gregor is a play development worker at Kingsway and Warrington Road Children's Centre in Widnes, Merseyside. She was awarded EYP status after completing the short pathway for EYPS at Edge Hill University.

Lindsay submitted written tasks showing how she demonstrated the 39 standards in her own practice and through her leadership of others. Lindsay also prepared a tour around the setting for the assessor to show how she put her work into practice, and compiled a portfolio of documentary evidence.

For S6, assessors are looking for evidence of the candidate's understanding of other professionals' roles and their ability to work collaboratively with them and also that have they have the ability to lead and support others to do so.
