Childcare Works will be hosting a webinar for LAs on Thursday 23rd October, 12.00-1.00pm, to talk about the autumn term Management Information (MI). The session will cover an overview of changes to the template and address important questions we have received through the helpdesk to support you to complete and submitting your MI. Please note, the MI template and guidance will be circulated with LAs before the webinar.
The webinar will include an overview of the MI process, timelines, and key tasks for LAs to complete and provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about completing and submitting your MI return. If you have any questions you’d like to submit ahead of the session, please email them to childcareworks@mottmac.com. Following the session, any FAQs which are raised/answered will be shared with all LAs.
