The Early Childhood Commission has begun the process of hiring additional staff to correct deficiencies identified by the Auditor-General in a recent report on the agency.
Marlene Turner, Registrar at the Commission, disclosed on Wednesday that the agency has received authorization.
The audit of the Early Childhood Commission revealed, among other things, that it has not carried out sufficient inspections.
Additionally, there has been no registration certificate issued to early childhood institutions in the 10 year existence of the Commission.
Turner said the Commission had accepted the findings of the audit.
Meanwhile, the Commission has discontinued the practice of accepting police reports which are up to five years old from employees of early childhood institutions. This was one of the practices which the Auditor-General recommended should cease, declaring that the five-year period is too lengthy.
Ceila Morgan, Communications Manager at the Early Childhood Commission, said a meeting will be scheduled with members of the agency and the National Security Ministry.
