Childcare Sufficiency Assessment Review 2011-2012
The Vale of Glamorgan Council carried out its second full
Childcare Sufficiency
Assessment (CSA) in 2010 to meet the duties under the
Childcare Act 2006. This required every
local authority to ensure there is sufficient childcare to
enable parents to work or undertake
education or training in order to make the transition to
work.
A full sufficiency assessment is required every three years with
annual updates to set out
how local authorities are responding to the findings of their
childcare sufficiency
assessments and working to meet the sufficiency duty.
The CSA Review 2011-2012 was published in March 2012 and is
