ECA Developing Skill-Based Certificate Course
The organization is currently designing a new skill-based certificate course for helper staff to increase accountability and ensure parents can verify the qualifications of all personnel.
The ECA president stressed that childcare is not low-skilled work and requires specialised training and accountability.
The course will enable parents to ask not only about the qualifications of teachers but also those of helper staff.
She advised parents to ask whether a preschool or daycare has been audited by a professional organisation, the qualifications of every staff member, whether police verification has been completed, and what training the staff has received.
Every centre should maintain a minimum of 30 days of CCTV recordings, and every staff member should sign a zero-tolerance policy.
