Our voucher scheme was launched in March 2009 after repeated requests from early years’ professionals and we have been delighted by the response. 

The scheme enables you to purchase a voucher for any sum of money and to spend it little-by-little or in one purchase on training courses or publications any time over a two-year period.

You can choose to use it on any of PEEP’s publications, such as our PEEP Learning Together folders, song books, DVDs or videos. Equally, you can also use it to book training for individual members of staff or hold training in your own location.

PEEP runs two-day PEEP for Practitioner training courses for those wanting to use the programme in their area. This training from September 2009 includes the option for practitioners to gain a Level 3 City & Guilds’ unit under the Award in Work with Parents. There is also our PEEP for Practitioners’ Extended day where practitioners can achieve accreditation linking with Oxford Brookes University at undergraduate or Masters’ level.

PEEP is excited to announce the launch of two new courses from September 2009 as well. The Introduction to PEEP Practice Part I course is ideal for PEEP volunteers or assistants.

The course will give an introduction to PEEP Learning Together, including its principles, curriculum, circle time and ORIM, will explore heuristic play and the use of treasure baskets, discuss challenging situations, will outline core activities in PEEP Learning Together group work and explore the role assistants/volunteers play.

We are also pioneering a one-day course for those practitioners wanting to support their parents with PEEP OCN accreditation. The course is suitable for practitioners already running OCN courses or those wanting to do so. It will also demystify aspects of internal verification.

All you have to do to get your voucher is fill out the voucher order form enclosed or go to the PEEP website on www.peep.org.uk  and look for the voucher under the
