Early Years Workforce Qualifications Audit Tool

This Early Years Workforce Qualifications Audit Tool will allow early years registered settings to record and store information about their staff. It is an easy way to record the qualifications that staff hold or are working towards and their additional training achievements.

The audit tool will enable early years settings to:

• Have an electronic record of staff details and qualifications.
• Manage records when it is convenient.
• Check staff qualifications to meet the minimum qualification requirements in the Statutory Framework from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
• Plan appropriate training and development of settings' staff.

The audit tool will enable local authorities to:

• Target support for your setting.
• Budget and plan for local training and development.
• Reduce the burden of auditing settings annually.
