The Playwork Apprenticeship Trailblazer Group, with the support of The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE), has been supporting the development of a Level 2 Playwork Apprenticeship in England.
A Trailblazer is a group of employers recognised by IfATE and reflective of those who employ people in the occupation, including small employers. Developing an Apprenticeship involves writing the occupational standard, the End Point Assessment plan (EPA), and collating funding evidence to inform IfATE of the funding band recommendation for an agreed occupation proposal. There is also a commitment to continue to revise the apprenticeship as needed, to promote the apprenticeship to potential users, monitor the performance of the apprenticeship and to answer queries to help resolve any issues that may occur.

It has been a long journey, but the Standard and EPA have now been approved by IfATE. If you would like further information, please contact the Chair of the Trailblazer Group, Joan Fisher.
