Establishing Integrated Governance for Yea Children's Services

A new governance structure for Yea Children's Services has been proposed, transforming the existing Kindergarten Committee into a comprehensive Committee for all services. This body will oversee service provision under a unified constitution, promoting integration through a single operator and license. Sub-committees may manage individual services while maintaining oversight. This proposal includes transferring existing staff and licenses, ensuring compliance with Victorian Regulations, and offering a streamlined operational model. Community support is essential to facilitate this transition and develop a cohesive operational strategy.

  1. Governance options

  2. Features • A new Committee is established or the Yea Kindergarten • Committee expands its purpose and becomes the Committee for all services • This new body will manage all service provision in accordance with one constitution • A sub committee could be retained for each service that reports to the management committee • Single licence and operator will support integration of the programs • Management body has operation, licence and financial liability

  3. Implications for the operating model • One organisation manages and operates the education and care services • One lease / service agreement including the development of policies and procedures to enhance integration. • Promotes integration as a single entity which manages both services. • Kindergarten would need to be supported in transferring their operations to a new entity. • Community would need to be supported to establish the new governing body. • Transmission of business process would need to be established including • Transferring child care and kindergarten staff employment and entitlements • Transfer of kindergarten and child care licence • Transfer or development of new a business model • The service will meet the Victorian Regulations for an additional room as there are two rooms operating under the one license

  4. Features • External provider contracted as the licensee, funded authority, and employer. Implications for the operating model • Involvement of parents and opportunities for the Kindergarten Committee will be drawn up in MOU format • Expression of interest and tender process to be developed for selection of the preferred provider. • Cost of operator versus no cost when operated by a Committee • Operator absolves risks currently borne by volunteers around care of children/employment of staff. In summary, the amalgamation of governance and operations under one community committee of management or an external operator are the recommended governance options for the future of an integrated Yea Children’s Service
