NCMA open their survey up to non members

**Chatterbox Childcare** · 02-05-2012, 05:32 PM

I got this today so please complete the survey and make your voice heard:

Since we launched our Individual Inspection Matters campaign to NCMA members just five days ago, we have received nearly 2000 responses from members who share our concern on this issue. Given the strength of feeling within our own membership, NCMA has decided that it should support childminders who do not belong to NCMA, to have a voice on this issue too. This is something that many of our members have asked us to do in the last few days. So, if you are a working childminder and keen to share your views on the issue of possible change to childminding regulation and inspection, you can support the campaign in the following ways :

· Complete the on-line survey to tell us why you value the current inspection and regulation system in England

· Download our Individual Inspection Matters campaign briefing that will support you in raising your concerns with decision makers

· Visit NCMA's website on a regular basis to make sure you are up to date with the latest developments on this issue

As your professional association, we not only support you to deliver the highest standards of care and learning to the children you look after but also represent your concerns and promote your professionalism. Belonging to your professional association makes your voice stronger.

I think that everyone should come together country wide and fight this.

Great to see that 2000 members did do something and it shows that the communications are out there for them but sometimes they are too trivial to take notice off.

I have just been asked if this can be forwarded outside of the forum

YES YES YES - please send it on to anyone you know of that would complete it

It says I have already filled it in still so I'm guessing I'm one of the 2000 "members" who already filled it in
