I can only repeat what I said in the previous post: I didn't know NCMA did a child protection course. As far as I know Ofsted are happy to recognise all courses provided they meet the criteria for training. |

Bella it was not a stupid question a lot of people do not know this so it is always good to ask for advice
Pauline was right though
Are you going to be doing this course on line now you know you can ?

That's good Bella, glad you found out. Hope my reply didn't sound terse, wasn't intended to!  (I was in a hurry and when I read it back this morning I thought it sounded off hand) and like Angel says no question is ever stupid |

good luck with the course, I'm sure you will fly through it, I did the course a little while back, and as you have said, it is a lot easy then having to sit in a classroom,
