To
consider alternative arrangements for the management/future ownership of the
childcare provisions Dorset Council run in Blandford and Shaftesbury.
Our objectives
are to:
Meet our
statutory duty1 to secure sufficient childcare, so far as is reasonably
practicable, for working parents, or parents who are studying or training for
employment, for children aged 0-14 (or up to 18 for disabled children)
Ensure the
provisions are run by an organisation with the dedicated leadership,
experience, resources, and skills to do this effectively.
