Funding Follows the Child & the National Standard

CALA is looking to hear from ELC providers and childminders on moving towards full implementation of Funding Follows the Child and the National Standard.

Given the impacts of the pandemic, interim guidance giving some flexibilities to the standard was provided this year and CALA has been asked to consult with childcare providers on behalf of the ‘Scottish Government’s Childcare Sector Working Group’ who will be compiling a report based on your feedback and sharing it with the ‘ELC Joint Delivery Board’ to help inform on the timetable including sufficient notice to move to full implementation of the National Standard by the local authority and ELC providers.

 You can do this by:
