Self-evaluation workshops for the early learning and childcare sector


In February and March, the Care Inspectorate and Education Scotland held engagement sessions for practitioners about the new Quality improvement framework for the early learning and childcare sectors. During these events, many participants told us they would like to know more about self-evaluation and how to implement this approach in services.
