It also contains a wide range of sample forms to be used by services on a daily basis and provides access to carefully chosen websites to enable directors to obtain accurate, up-to-date information.
The Guide is widely recognised as an invaluable resource for managing an early education and care service in NSW. Whether you’ve been a director for years, or an educator looking to broaden your knowledge, Essential Guide is, well, essential!
The Essential Guide has saved the day so many times! It’s great being able to pull it out and have a starting point.
