Nvq3 ccld - Silkysteps early years forum

Help! I'm doing my nvq3 via e-learning and really struggling. This is the first time I have done any childcare study. I think starting (in hindsight) with the level 3 was not such a good idea.
I have to research and explain in detail the Children's Act 1989 and also the Race Relations Act 1976. Can anybody give me some pointers.
Many thanks

If you just put each of the acts into google they should come up with all the upto date information.Hope this helps

Thanks. I just wondered if anybody had found a site that simplifies the legal jargon. It's making me dizzy

All the advice you receive on this site is fantastic but sometimes you can be overwhelmed with internet info. I was recommended a good book CCLD L3 penny tassoni, kath bulman and kate beith (heinemann). Good luck - you will be fine.
