David Seymour is setting his sights on cutting back safety regulations in early childhood education centres.
The Associate Education Minister's announced he will scrap requirements for the Education Ministry to sign-off on new centres being established.
Also binned are changes which had been due to take effect in August, requiring people in supervisory roles to hold a full teaching practice certificate.
Seymour told Mike Hosking that they’re committed to quality health and safety regulations for kids, but beyond that it’s up to those planning to start ECE centres to take the risk and make their business work.
He said that it’s up to parents to decide where they want to send their children, and if they don’t send their kids somewhere, maybe they’re trying to tell the owner something.
