Hi I have just started the level 3 diploma in Residential childcare that's has replaced the CYPW diploma. Is anyone else doing this? It's so new there's no text books to go with it? I'm using the CYPW text book but it doesn't cover a lot of the units and I'm really struggling with unit 11 Support children and young people in residential childcare to achieve there learning potential, 1.2 - Explain the differences between learning, learning potential and education and
1.2 - Explain the differences between learning, learning potential and education
Can anyone help please ?

Hi, sorry for delay & a warm welcome in xx

I'm trying to find a creditable source for you to research more appropriately, is it possible your course provider has learner materials you can use?

If it helps I personally feel learning is what's going on in the here and now, it's how we use our senses to experience the world, understand and evaulate everything that's being presented. I see learning potential as a forcecast, the possibilities that can happen if a child's current stage of development & their interests are known, and then experiences, freedom and opportunity is given to enable the realisation of that potential. and education as a structured way to deliver targets and hope, be it from national or local government, charity organisations, parental and professional.

If you do contact your tutor or assessor can you ask if there's any recommended reading you need to have awareness of and if a handbook is due to be published for this course?

Best wishes, please let us know how it goes xx

I can't help with that question, or any other really to be honest. I am just starting this level 3 but have started with unit 318 (youth justice).

The lack of any material is very frustrating and unhelpful, and the 6 month time limit is just extra pressure.

Hopefully some others will join the forum and as we progress we'll be able to help each other out a bit more.

Wow uv started with a hard one!!!!!
It's nice to know I'm not the only one doing this course, and you right the lack of any reading material is really difficult. I've been using the old Young peoples workforce book and it does cover some of the earlier units but unit 11 is soooo hard ..... And even the stuff that you find online comes in PDF versions of huge documents, I seem to spend more time trawling through mounds of documents before finding something that just touches on what I was looking for in the first place. Grrrrrr

it was the only module that I knew I hadn't covered at all before in my CWDC. Are you already working in this sector? And have you had to do CWDC? My CWDC work has covered 29% of this level 3 already, which is a bit of help.

It is reassuring to hear that you think this module is difficult, hopefully most of the others will be a bit easier!

Hello,

I, 3 am doing the level 3 residential childcare diploma, I also have the textbook aimed at the children and young people's workforce nvq but its only helpful for a few of the modules and there doesn't seem to be a book (or much info at all) regarding the residential childcare diploma!

Anyone that can offer help, that would be great, similarly, if I can help with people's modules I will!
