Hi Chloe
Had a quick look into this and I think there is great confusion mounting because of the terms people are using when discussing it (same old huh
!!!!!)
The 5 outcomes framework as published by
Every Child Matters.gov Details 5 umbrella areas that represent levels of stable development/achievement, key points of intervention etc throughout the beginning … 0 – 19 years of a person's life.
I can’t find anywhere that suggests they are to become or be included in the national day care standards ..(although in essence it's what we are all working towards by following the standards for our age group :upsidedow !!!!)
However..
*groaans at the thought* :bomb:will keep an ear & eye out for more news!
The 5 outcomes framework can be viewed here
(it's a pdf & is very informative!!)
