Childcare Sufficiency Assessment |
|
A childcare sufficiency assessment is
a measurement of the nature and extent of the need for, and supply
of, childcare in each local area. It is used to help authorities
identify gaps in the market and to plan how to address
them. | |
|
Section 6 of the Childcare Act
2006 gives local authorities a new duty to secure, as far as is
reasonably practicable, sufficient childcare to meet the
requirement of working parents.
From April 2007 all local authorities
have a duty to assess the sufficiency of childcare provision under
section 11 of the 2006 Act. Sufficiency assessments need to be
completed and published before April 2008, and regularly updated
thereafter.
