Updates for Cambridge National in Child Development J809
27 May 2022
Specification update
We've updated the specification for the refreshed Cambridge National in Child Development (J809) qualification to Version 2, issued in May 2022. Please make sure you are using the latest version.
The updated specification includes more about the resubmission of centre assessed (NEA) units and we’ve updated the administration arrangements. We've also updated the assessment guidance for Unit R059.
Please refer to page 2 of the specification for more details on what has changed.
You can view and download the specification from the Child Development qualification page.
R059 sample set assignment update
For the sample set assignment, we've now:
- included templates for observations
- made it clearer that the student must use the observation findings of the child from task 1 to choose and plan a suitable play activity for the social development area in task 2a.
You can view and download the sample set assignment from the Assessment section of the Child Development qualification page.
