Work matters: Continuing Professional Development - Supporting parents

What practitioners can get from PEAL training, under a new remit, is explained by Karen Faux.

Uptake for the Parents, Early Years and Learning (PEAL) programme is steadily gaining momentum as the EYFS is imminent. The original one-day course has been built on, with two further training programmes focusing on strategic development and becoming a PEAL trainer.

Since funding for free training ceased in April, PEAL has fallen within the remit of the National Children's Bureau and training is now accessed via local authorities. There is scope for sessions to be tailored to local needs.

For practitioners who missed out on the free training in 2006-07, and who want to develop their expertise within the sharper focus of the EYFS, the two-day course providing both the introduction and guidance on how to cascade the training is both insightful and practical.
