Overview

Overview

 

This part-time blended learning module is aimed at participants who are seeking to open and establish early years settings in Ireland. This module provides learners with the knowledge required to ensure that their early years setting adheres to the relevant law and regulations that govern the sector.

 

Participants working in early years settings or indeed hoping to open their own setting in the future do not operate solely within the education sector but also within national policy and law. This module provides an introduction to the law relating to the care, safety, welfare and education of children in Ireland. The module provides learners with an understanding of the legal context of families, children and education, and with aspects of the law with direct implications for their own business. Understanding legislative and policy issues related to child abuse prevention and the promotion of children’s personal safety and wellbeing will enable participants establish safe and welcoming businesses.

 

It is envisaged that participants will also enrol in “Introduction to Business Management” (coming soon!) which will provide them with the knowledge and skills necessary to establish their own early years business.

About the Module

Legal & Policy Issues in Ireland

SNMCI is pleased to welcome applications for a ‘once off’ single module related to Legal and Policy Issues in EY Education. This module, delivered in the evenings through blended learning, is aimed at practitioners working in EY settings, or indeed those seeking to open and establish early years’ settings in Ireland. The module stresses the rights of the child as a citizen, provides knowledge of Irish  legal and policy initiatives related to children and families and allows participants to frame their practice within the relevant law and regulations that govern the sector.

This module aims to provide learners with knowledge of the Irish legal system and Irish national policy related to children and families. In particular the module will introduce the evolution of the legal and regulatory framework for early years and primary education in Ireland. Issues, within the Irish context, that affect children’s safety and wellbeing are explored and effective approaches, both proactive and reactive, are examined. The promotion of the personal safety and wellbeing of children as outlined in relevant Irish legislation and, in particular, in the policy document ‘Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children’ is deemed paramount. It is anticipated that knowledge gained through this module will assist learners to frame their practice within the regulatory context, whilst acknowledging the rights of the child as citizen.
