Revisions October 2019
Following the QAA Benchmark consultation and the first year of the pilot presentation, this document has been updated to firmly locate the assessment process for practice at Level 6 to the QAA descriptors for a bachelor degree with honours in Early Childhood.

Only membership organisations of ECSDN can embed the competencies into their degree programmes that are mapped on to the
QAA Benchmark Statement for Early Childhood Studies.
