- Structure
and Communication
The WACCP have built an inclusive partnership based on the
principles of equality between the key stakeholders with transparent
strategies and procedures and continue to review these structures
and its performance. The WACCP actively promotes an integrated
approach across all sectors and at all levels.
The Partnership meets on a bi-monthly basis and maintains regular
reviews of its operational structures. It maintains close links
with children's Services Planning, the Pre-School Education Expansion
Programme (PEEP) to ensure a clear strategic approach to meeting
the needs of children in their pre-school year. Through the mechanism
of the Pre-School Education Advisory Group (PEAG) the needs of
specialist pre-school settings such as the Integrated Irish Medium
sectors are also represented and needs addressed.
Structure
The structure of the Partnership includes the following components
and remains unchanged.
· Child Care Partnership/Executive Committee which will
be the decision making body;
· Permanent sub-groups;
· Quality Assurance / Quality Development
· Strategic Funding Panel;
· Information and Strategic Analysis;
· Local Early Years Fora - 1 in each district council area;
· Short-term Working Groups - to be established to lead
on particular pieces of work and will have a lifespan for the
work to be undertaken;
· Childcare Forum - inclusive body which will meet once
or twice per annum with a particular focus or theme, e.g. a conference,
consultation on Child Care Plan
