Inspections on the ECCE (including AIM Level 1 and Level 7) and CCSP Saver programmes will commence shortly on the 2024/25 programme call. The compliance process will involve a series of standardised checks aimed at confirming adherence with programme rules and contract conditions as set out by the Department of Children Equality Disability Integration & Youth (DCEDIY).
Pobal will be delivering a series of webinars for providers on the ECCE, AIM Levels 1 and Level 7 and CCSP Compliance processes. Invitations will issue shortly for the webinars which will be scheduled for 21 and 22 October respectively. Each webinar will cover the same content.
It is advised that providers prepare for an unannounced compliance inspection by collating relevant information for review e.g. Parent Statements etc. in a Compliance File which can be made readily available to the Visit Officer on arrival.
Guidance on Attendance record keeping was published on the Early Years Hive on 17 June 2024 which advised that the format of the attendance records is not daily sheets, but rather that each page shows at least one week of attendance (i.e. weekly sheets/roll books).
The Visit Officer will seek to review ECCE/AIM and CCSP records from the beginning of the programme year i.e. 19 August 2024 for ECCE/AIM and 12 August 2024 for CCSP.
