Our course offering of Business and management, early years best practice, safeguarding and child protection, Scotland-specific courses form the continuous professional learning (CPL) which is an essential component of ELC quality and is linked to children’s development. All our training supports CPL in helping improve sector awareness of best practice and offer a range of development to continually support the sector, improving outcomes for children Our training is delivered by experienced trainers with relevant sector knowledge. A requirement set out by us is that they provide evidence on continuous professional learning so that practice is informed by the most up-to-date evidence. They hold relevant training and childcare qualifications which helps embed the quality by linking principles of theory to workable practical elements. We gather pre/post evaluation to measure a percentage of increase in knowledge and confidence on the day in a form of evaluation summative assessment form. 3 months after the training NDNA evaluate the level of positive impact the training has had on children and quality within the setting and measure the increase of confidence from the delegates after receiving the training. NDNA is committed to providing first class customer service to members, parents, partners and other stakeholders. We therefore welcome any comments, both where we have done well and where we could have done better. We record and learn from compliments and complaints as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. NDNA will acknowledge, in writing or by telephone, receipt of the complaint within two working days, unless we can resolve it within that time. We will inform them who is dealing with the complaint and which relevant manager the complaint has been assigned too and receive a reply in writing within 10 working days. In this timeframe we will keep the complainant informed regarding the progress of the complaint and will receive an apology if we have made a mistake. If we are at fault, the complainant will be informed what measures are being taken to put things right. If at this point the complainant remains dissatisfied the matter will be dealt with by the Chief Executive who will investigate and send acknowledgement of this within five working days and a full and clear reply within 10 working days. If the complainant remains dissatisfied they may appeal to NDNA’s board of trustees. The appeal will be considered at the next scheduled board meeting and they will receive a final response within five working days of the meeting.
