Overview

Promoting optimum health is of great concern to today's policy makers, employers, educators, child care staff, and families everywhere. This is partly due to an awareness of the negative impact poor health has on individuals, families, and society. Health promotion includes anything that strives to facilitate optimum well-being, or the ability for individuals to reach their fullest potential physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually, and economically. This course will discuss ways to promote health and wellness in children. From key definitions to identifying the educator's and family's role in encouraging wellness, healthy eating, and physical activity for young children, this course will prepare those who work with young children to promote optimum health.

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.
