More information
The Ministry for Regulation (M4R) commenced their consultation process on 5 July 2024. ECC has shifted its focus now on supporting its members to engage with that.
M4R is calling for feedback in four categories – parents/caregivers, people who work in ECE, service providers and other interested people.
ECC considers their current engagement approach will need a lot more support from the sector if the review is to achieve its aims. For example, issues like child safety that we would expect to see submitted on by people from all four categories could become clouded where some people perceive existing regulations as effective when service providers know they are not or that different regulatory approaches would be more effective.
Make a submission
ECC encourages ALL members and non-members to develop individual submissions.
ECC has prepared a template submission to help providers engage with the review. This will save you some time. ECC will also prepare a submission. ECC members are encouraged to share a copy of their submission to policy@ecc.org.nz. You can email them to: reviews@regulation.govt.nz.
Alternatively, you can submit the relevant questionaire here.
Submissions close on 16 August 2024.
