Audit of crèches underway in Ekurhuleni

The sole intention of the audit is to establish the number of unregistered facilities.

The metro is auditing Early Childhood Development centres across Ekurhuleni to unearth non-compliance issues.

The Ekurhuleni metro has confirmed that they have started with the auditing of all Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres in the metro.

The DA recently pushed through an urgent motion compelling the Department of Health and Social Development to do a comprehensive audit of all crèches in Ekurhuleni.

“ECD centres that are found to be non-compliant with the required national norms and standards will be referred to the Gauteng Social Development Department to initiate required steps for non-compliance,” said Themba Gadebe, metro spokesperson.
