View all badgesThis Open Badge will be awarded to participants who attend the Improving Leadership in the Childminding Sector event on 21 January 2017 and tell us how they applied what they learned.
Leadership is fundamental to improving quality outcomes for children and after the event participants should have better knowledge about:
- what leadership means for childminders
- how to recognise their own leadership skills
- how other childminders demonstrate effective leadership
- future developments which support the leadership of the childminding sector.
The event is supported by the Care Inspectorate and the Scottish Childminding Association.
To earn this badge you will need to:
- reflect on your leadership role in your current and future practice
