Submission | Regional and Remote Early Childhood Education Strategy: Consultation Paper
On behalf of the NSW Children’s Services Forum, NCOSS provided a submission into the Regional and Remote Early Childhood Education Strategy: Consultation Paper, which is being developed by the Early Childhood Education Directorate, Department of Education.
Early Childhood Education (ECE) services play a recognised and vitally important role in the wellbeing and development of children and young people; it is encouraging to see the Department working to develop a Regional and Remote Early Childhood Education Strategy (The Strategy) that specifically addresses the unique challenges and needs faced by regional and remote communities. Our submission explored solutions to improve:
- Staffing, training and development
- Transport
- Integrated service provision and support for referral pathways
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander access and representation
