The Longitudinal Study of Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) was a three-year study commissioned by the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) in 2009. EYPS was launched in 2007 and originally heralded in the UK Department for Education and Skills 2006 Children's Workforce Strategy (2006). It was part of a range of measures to develop a more professional early years workforce that would raise the status of work with pre-school children. It set out to investigate if EYPS was achieving its aims by examining the following areas: (a) Early Years Professionals' (EYPs') views on their ability to carry out their roles since gaining Early Years Professional Status; (b) EYPs' practice in relation to: outcomes for children; impact on leadership roles in early years settings; and impact on other aspects of early years settings, such as the quality of practice and interactions, as well as relationships with parents and other agencies; (c) EYPs' career pathway and views on their career trajectory including any motivations or intentions to change setting, role or career; (d) the extent to which EYPs have, or have not, undertaken (or plan to undertake) any further training or professional development; and (e) the issues faced by EYPs in integrating children's perspectives into their approaches to improving the quality of provision.
