This webinar will support local authorities in delivering a business support strategy as part of their role in managing the childcare market (Childcare Act 2016).
The childcare market is diverse, business knowledge and skills vary across the market and local authority teams. The current climate has made it more difficult for childcare providers across all sectors to remain sustainable and more are seeking support from local authority teams.
We will consider designing, reviewing and delivery of a strategy with five key elements to ensure business support is differentiated as needed, accessible to all and achievable within the delivery budgets available.
We will learn from examples of different local authority approaches to business support. Consider a variety of options and activities to ensure there is a comprehensive early years and business support strategy to support recovery and future market success.
The webinar will be followed by action learning sets to explore implementation and progress.
