Childcare Co-ordinators Network consists of local authority officers drawn mainly from Education and Social Services who share an enthusiasm about prioritising Early Years, Family Support and Childcare. The Network's aim is to develop and disseminate good practice through routine consultation and information exchange. It sees the achievement of the principles of affordability, accessibility, diversity and quality as fundamental to improving the life chances of all children in Britain. Members believe they are uniquely placed to assist government in the definition of policies and processes which are most likely to secure effective implementation of their agenda. The Local Authority Early Years Co-ordinators Network has been meeting on a national basis for four years and over the past eighteen months has extended it's activity to include meetings in each of the nine government office regions.
Meetings take place quarterly.
