From today, anyone starting a new role in childcare, inc. childminders, will benefit from having Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) membership fees covered if they apply before 31 March 2024.

Health and social care will touch all of our lives at some point. You may need to use its services, care for someone who does, or work in it.

It is important the new National Care Service meets needs of everyone.

The pandemic has been a challenging time for everyone and childcare professionals have often gone above and beyond in supporting children and families. It’s important to look after yourself as well, so why not book on to one of our wellbeing seminars ➡️ https://t.co/FKGcasZbjF

[ScotGov Childcare @ELCScotGov]

No change to ELC and childcare until at least mid-February as Covid-19 rates remain high.

Childminders can continue to stay open to all. Nurseries & regulated childcare providers should continue to open to key worker/vulnerable children only.
