The QAA Scottish subject benchmark statement ‘The Standard for Childhood
Practice’ (2007) specifies what is expected of a worker seeking registration
with the SSSC as a manager/lead practitioner in the early years and
childcare service in Scotland. It supports the development and delivery of
work based bachelor’s degrees or other equivalent awards in Childhood
Practice at level 9 in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework
(SCQF).
