Regional Forums

Smiling womanEvery NCMA region holds three meetings each year which NCMA members can attend to discuss important childcare topics and share their views with NCMA. These meetings are known as Regional Forums and the dates of upcoming meetings will be published here.

 

At Regional Forums NCMA members have the opportunity to:

  • hear about the issues affecting other childminders in their area and listen to their views
  • comment on subjects that affect all childminders, for example, the Early Years Foundation Stage or whistleblowing
  • give their view on the services NCMA provides for its members
  • suggest topics that they think need to be discussed.

 

Shortly after each Regional Forum, a National Policy Forum meeting is held. This meeting is attended by two elected NCMA members from each region who share the thoughts and views of their region with the other National Policy Forum representatives.

 

Regional Fourms

Regional Forums are open to all NCMA members, with everyone welcome and encouraged to attend. However, because some venues may only be able to accommodate a limited number of people please contact the organiser if you are planning to attend.
