HOW DID THE CAMPAIGN START?
Covid highlighted the lack of knowledge and understanding of the nanny role when regulations and guidelines introduced by the Government were unclear, not relevant and unsuitable for the industry.
We also felt over the years that the industry has been a forgotten part of the early years, as we are not regulated providers.
WHAT ARE YOU CAMPAIGNING FOR?
We would like to see some sort of regulation/safer checks for nannies. To have some sort of register, ensuring, at the very minimum, that all nannies have DBS checks, a first-aid qualification, and childcare knowledge.
We also want to educate parents that the nanny industry is not regulated.
