Under the Childcare Act 2006 local authorities take on a new
duty from April 2008 to secure, so far as is reasonably
practicable, that the provision of childcare is sufficient to
meet the requirements of parents in their area in
order to enable them to work or undertake education or training
leading to work. To ensure that we have sufficient
childcare in North Lincolnshire the Childcare Development
Service have carried out a Sufficiency Assessment.
The Childcare Development Service published its first childcare sufficiency assessment. The purpose of the
assessment is to establish if there is enough childcare
available for parents to work or attend training. Childcare
means registered provision for children and young people aged
0-14 years old or 0-18 years old with SEN or a disability.
We would like to thank everyone that read and commented on
our Draft Sufficiency
Assessment. Comments were fed into the Sufficiency
Assessment 2008..
