Children's University works closely with all kinds of learning providers and activity leaders to offer children the widest variety of opportunities. In order to offer a consistent quality of activities we undertake a quality assurance process to validate these opportunities to confirm they meet certain standards. Submitting their activity information online is about more than just being listed on our website - we need to ensure that matters of health and safety, public liability, GDPR and safeguarding are all operating within statutory requirements. However, vitally important for children and the value that they get from activities, we need to ensure that learning providers are committed to Children’s University. As a minimum we ask learning providers to commit to:
- helping children who take part in their activity to record their participation on Children's University Online
- supporting children who participate to fully engage with this learning activity
- ensuring that other staff within the organisation/activity are committed to doing the same
- work with Children's University to promote our partnership and to actively demonstrate a commitment to life-long learning
If any activity provider is unwilling or unable to make this commitment, then they are not a partner that we’re able to sign post children and families to as part of Children’s University. They may still be an excellent activity provider, but ensuring consistency and quality is important to us.
You can still gain a Children’s University Stamp for participation by clicking ‘Record an activity’ and telling us more. However there will be limitations on the hours that can be claimed and so this will need to be done again in the future.
