Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA)
Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA) 2019
The Childcare Act 2006 places a duty on local authorities to make sure that there are enough childcare places within its locality.
The council is currently updating it's Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA) for 2019 and our parents/carers views are important to us.
If you live in Haringey and have a child aged between 0-14 or 0-19 if they have SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) - please help us by completing our survey:

As with previous CSA survey results, we will publish the final report and Action Plan when we have assessed the survey results.
