Who does what in your OOSH?

Ever had the “I thought you were doing it” moment?

In OOSH, roles and responsibilities can quickly become blurred, especially when the day is busy, staff are coming and going, and there’s a lot happening at once.

But when everyone knows who is responsible for what, things run more smoothly and, importantly, children are safer.

Clear roles and responsibilities also support compliance. When your team understands who is accountable for supervision, documentation, communication, incident follow-up and meeting regulatory requirements, it becomes easier to demonstrate that your service is operating safely and consistently.

Our Roles & Responsibilities session will get your team thinking about:

👉 Who is responsible?
👉 Who makes the decision?
👉 Who needs to know?
👉 Who follows it up?
👉 What compliance requirements apply?
👉 What records or evidence need to be maintained?
👉 And what happens when something falls between the cracks?

It’s practical, relevant and designed for the real world of OOSH!

Ready to get clear?

Don’t leave roles, responsibilities or compliance to chance.

Book your place today.

Happy National Charity Day!

Today, as a charity ourselves, Network wants to take a moment to recognise and celebrate the incredible OOSH charities we are privileged to work alongside.

We know it has been a challenging time for many charities. Yet every day, our OOSH charities continue to give so much to their communities, supporting children and families, creating connection and belonging, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.

We see the passion, dedication and care that goes into the work you do every day, often behind the scenes and without recognition.

So today, we simply want to say thank you.

Thank you for the important work you do.
Thank you for the communities you support.
And thank you for continuing to make a difference, even when times are tough.

From all of us at Network, happy National Charity Day!
