Level 2 CACHE Children's Care Learning and Development

[Aleezia]

Hi All,

I have just started the CACHE Level 2 CCLD course with ICS and i am finding it difficult to begin my first assignment Unit One: Principles and Values underpinning the Care, Learning and Development Sector. It does not have a specific question but states:
Choose one of the following: Guidance notes, Information booklet, Audio Tape and Transcript, Leaflets, Charts or another format or combination of formats, that allow you to present the following information about principles and values underpinning the care, learning and development sector.

Points are listed from P1 to D with mini questions next to each point i.e. P1 - Describe the principles and values underpinning the care, learning and development sector.

My main question is do i write an essay trying to answer each question?

If anyone has done this course your help would be greatly appreciated

Hi there,I've just finished this course and have obtained Distinctions so I hope I can help you out.
Units 1, 3 and 4 can be presented in essay form. (2000- 3000 words ) Unit 2 is a multiple choice paper.
P questions are 'pass' questions M= merit D= distinction. all need answering in detail but keep in mind that if you look at the points awarded for P, M and D questions you'll see that D is worth the most points and therefore the question which requires the most detail, a full explanation supported with examples to show your understanding etc.
My advice is to contact your Tutor for any handouts they have, it really does help!.

Good luck, I'm happy to help out if I can!

Wow! Congrats on achieving a Distinction. I would be so pleased if i get a pass let alone a Distinction! My tutor is away on holiday for two weeks and i am finding it so hard to start the first assignment. I would be so grateful if you could provide me with advice on how you started P1 - Describe the principles and values underpinning the care, learning and development sector. Did you give examples of the principles and values? If so, how many examples did you do?

I would also appreciate it if you could tell me how many words you did for P1?

I was in the same boat, it's been years since I did any form of study and I never thought I'd get through it let alone get good grades!
P1 asks you to describe the Principles and Values underpinning CL&D sector, If you've been given the same course book I received from ICS you'll find the Principles and Values listed on pages 176-177.
These just need putting into your own words.
Head each answer with the letter and number you are answering e.g. P1 P2 P3
As the D question is worth the most marks, devote more of your 'word quota' to this question, It's hard to give you a figure as I don't know the detail you will go to in order to answer. Make you answers clear, concise but cover everything you feel each question needs so that you are happy you have answered the question including the facts and points you want to cover.
You'll get there!!! Units 3 and 4 are sooooo much easier I promise!

Hi, welcome to the site. If you work in England the framework is EYFS and it refers to the Childcare Act 2006 and the equality act 2010

There's also a duty to meet the requirements of section 35 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, have awareness of section 122 of the Education Act 2002, the Children and Families Act 2014, Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

If possible can you contact your tutor to clarify what you need to be researching?
