Consultation process
Sure Start area managers, who are key to
successful implementation of the scheme, have been consulted on
initial proposals.
It is proposed that, where possible, children’s centre
advisory group(s) should be involved in approving details of the
scheme.
Childcare providers will be consulted on the scheme’s
operation once those eligible have been identified.
Parents will be consulted on an individual basis so that the
childcare and associated support can be tailored to each child and
family’s needs.
