Wraparound MI Reporting
Childcare Works hosted a webinar for LAs on Thursday 23rd October, to talk about the autumn term Management Information (MI). The session covered an overview of changes to the template and addressed important questions we have received through the helpdesk to support you to complete and submitting your MI. The webinar also included an overview of the MI process, timelines, and key tasks for LAs to complete. FAQs which were raised will be shared with all LAs.
You can watch the webinar recording through the Useful Documents folder in the SharePoint
An email was sent to all Wraparound contacts on Friday 24th October with a link to your individual LA folder containing key documents and resources (and a link to the webinar recording).
If you haven’t received a copy of the email, please contact childcareworks@mottmac.com
