Description

Being a new mother is exciting – but it can be a daunting time too, and new and expectant mums can face a whole range of issues in the workplace.

Many working environments with previously acceptable conditions might contain hazards and risks that affect the health and safety of those who are pregnant.

These hazards can range from exposure to biological and chemical agents to constant standing or excessive workloads.

The consequences of ignoring these can be very serious indeed so a robust risk assessment for pregnant workers is essential.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
