Develop Scottish Vocational Qualification for work with children and protection

Recommendation

Consideration should be given to the development of a Scottish Vocational Qualification in respect of work with children, including the organisation of clubs and child development and protection (para 11.47).

Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
Publicly available evidence does not specifically detail the development of a Scottish Vocational Qualification for work with children and protection, as recommended. While "Appendix F: Resources and references," part of the "National Guidance for Child Protection in Scotland 2021 - updated 2023" (gov.scot, 31 August 2023), provides general advice on child protection, it does not constitute a vocational qualification. No specific legislation or programme for such a qualification was found in the provided search results.
