Funded Activity Summary

Optimising the quality of long day care: Early childhood teachers' perceptions of the impact of regulation. This study will investigate long day care teachers' perceptions of the cumulative impact of statutory, regulatory and other externally determined requirements on their capacity to provide the quality of care essential to young children's well being, development and healthy start to life. By seeking teachers' views about how to address mounting concerns about balancing public accountability and professional autonomy, the study recognises their potential to contribute actively to policy-making. Outcomes will include guidelines to inform policy development by major stakeholders (e.g., government departments, employers, industrial unions); suggested strategies for policy implementation; and resources to facilitate teachers' professional decision-making.
