See message below from the DfE:
We are excited to let you know that a new module has been added to the DfE’s Early years child development training.
Module 8: Supporting individual differences and needs is now available and covers:
This new module adds to the existing 7 modules that include child and brain development, personal, social and emotional development, communication and language, physical development, mathematics and effective curriculum and assessment.

We do still recommend that the modules are completed in consecutive order as the training has been designed to build on previous modules, starting with child and brain development underpinning all the others.
