Use your Transformation Fund 2006 – 2008 to involve Inclusive Solutions – the Transformation Fund Strands

'3.1a            Over the period April 2006 to August 2008 the Transformation Fund will be spent on the following strategic priorities:

• Training to achieve Early Years Professional Status
• Quality Premiums for settings that already employ or recruit an employee with relevant graduate level qualifications
• Recruitment Incentives for settings with newly employed staff with relevant graduate qualifications
• Home Grown Graduate Incentives, a newer strand of the local authority   managed Transformation Fund, for full daycare settings that do not have a graduate but an established staff member, who is undertaking the Early Years Foundation Degree at Level 5 and has committed to proceed to EYPS
• Training to Level 3, 4 or 5
• Training to work with children with additional needs – specifically children with English as an additional language, children with disabilities and children with SEN.' (this is where we can help!)
