Writing letters
 

Hi my optional assignment is lead & manage a community based setting, I already work in one, but I really need some pointers on how to start this question and what I need to put.

Create a Letter to encourage your current parents to volunteer to become the chair person.
Please include:
• Benefits of being on a committee
• (transferable work-skills, CV, setting legally required, have an input to the running of the pre school….)
• Describe all roles of the committee.
• Sources of information to explain about committees ( add website hyperlinks)
• Add an account about your procedures to recruit a new chair person.

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi this CYPW handbook has information on CYPOP 3 lead and manage a community based early years setting page 401+

• Benefits of being on a committee (search for the words benefits committee and click to page 403)

You're looking to include how children, parents themselves, the setting and the local community benefits from there being a committee run setting available and how individuals can apply their persona and professional skills to the role, add the role and responsibilities to their CV, have an awareness that setting is legally required to have individual's leading and managing the setting appropriately have how they can have an input to the running of the pre-school.

• Describe all roles of the committee.
Does your committee consist of a Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and a quorum of parents/carers?

What does your constitution/operational policy say about why each of these roles is needed?

• Sources of information to explain about committees

This is Northern Ireland's Early Years site which contains useful information as does Devon.gov's Early Years provider section

Hope this helps a little, best wishes xx
