Often, they must take priority over other plans. Certainly this was the case last year. For OOSH services it was an ill-conceived scheme and has turned out to be an administrative nightmare. We'd hoped the problems would be resolved by now. Unfortunately, that is not so - coping with the problems of CCB still dominates much of our time.
Regulations remain a top priority.
In spite of widespread support from parents and the OOSH sector in general, OOSH services are still the only children's service not covered by regulations. We had hoped that by now OOSH services would be on the way to having appropriate regulations developed. Unfortunately this is not the case. We still have a lot of work to do. Network's Management Committee is developing strategies to enlist all the help possible in our efforts to achieve equity and quality services for school age children.
