Safe staffing: Webinar series for ELC services
We are leading on a national programme to support care services to prepare for the enactment of the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act 2019, in April 2024.
Within the early learning and childcare (ELC) sector, the Act places duties on care service providers for daycare of children services and childminders. This webinar series will be relevant to anyone working in the ELC sector, such as staff, managers, and senior management teams.
