Drop-in session on vital role of childcare

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar have organised the drop-in session with Care and Learning Alliance (CALA) and Business Gateway.

The family friendly events will take place at the following locations:

Uist: Friday 13 September in Carinish Hall, North Uist – 10am-12:30pm

Barra: Saturday 14 September in Castlebay Hall, Barra – 12:30pm-3pm

The events will provide the opportunity to share views on the impact of limited childcare and to provide advice and support for anyone looking for a career in childcare. Anyone is welcome to come along to discuss challenges relating to childcare in their communities. 

The Uist and Barra events are being held following a similar event in Skye last April to help tackle childcare shortages on the island and plan to build on a successful start with further activities.

Free to drop-in. 

Tha Iomairt na Gàidhealtachd ’s nan Eilean (HIE) agus Comhairle nan Eilean Siar air na seiseanan tadhail a chur air dòigh còmhla ri Caidreachas Cùraim is Ionnsachaidh (CALA) agus Business Gateway.

Thèid na tachartasan teaghlaich seo a chur air adhart anns na h-àiteachan a leanas:

Uibhist: Dihaoine 13 Sultain ann an Talla Chàirinis, Uibhist a Tuath – 10m-12:30f

Barraigh: Disathairne 14 Sultain ann an Talla Bhàgh a’ Chaisteil, Barraigh – 12:30f-3f

Bheir na tachartasan cothrom air beachdan a roinn mun bhuaidh aig dìth àiteachan ann an cùram-chloinne, còmhla ri comhairle is taic do neach sam bith a tha a’ sireadh dreuchd ann an cùram-chloinne. Bidh fàilte ro na h-uile tadhal agus deasbad air dùbhlain sam bith co-cheangailte ri cùram-chloinne nan coimhearsnachdan.

Tha tachartasan Uibhist is Bharraigh gan cumail a’ leantainn air a leithid eile de thachartas san Eilean Sgitheanach sa Ghiblean a chaidh seachad gus cuideachadh le dèiligeadh ri gainnead cùram-chloinne air an Eilean, agus planadh air togail air toiseach tòiseachaidh soirbheachail le gnìomhachdan eile.
