Early Years Regional Networking Event - Burnley College - May 2026

Big changes are coming to the world of assessment, and the Early Years sector deserves clarity, confidence, and practical support to navigate what’s ahead.

Join us for an engaging session where we break down the assessment reforms and explore what they really mean for Early Years providers, employers, and practitioners.

VTCT Skills will guide you through the journey, highlighting how these reforms can strengthen quality, raise competence, and enhance outcomes for learners. We’ll share how our approach, resources, and qualifications are shaped to support you every step of the way, ensuring that the transition is smooth, manageable, and centered on what truly matters - developing a skilled, confident workforce.

Together, we’ll look at how the Early Years sector can embrace these changes with optimism and purpose, turning new expectations into opportunities for growth, innovation, and stronger practitioner development.

Join us to stay informed, ask questions, and feel supported as we move forward into a new era of assessment.
