To access the members area on the PSCWA website is as easy as one- two- three. Childcare services, carers of children and family day care schemes can all access the member's area of the website for free by joining the RUCSN Resource Centre.
You can enter into any of the three membership options, Professional Library, Mobile Multicultural Library or the Postal Multicultural Library and gain free access to the website. Details of your membership and how to create a user name on the website will be provided to you on confirmation of your RUCSN resource membership.
Found under the service tab are the following resources:
• Discussion Forums
• Professional Development Resources
• Policy Updates
• Complete 'Policies to go by' for OSHC, FDC and LDC
By becoming a member of the RUCSN Resource Centre your service will gain so much more than library membership, it will also include Professional Development opportunities.
The Professional Support Coordinator WA website recognises the benefit that free and open discussion brings to childcare professionals. Please help us maintain the quality of these Forums by respecting the Forums Guide and by reporting any misuse to the administrator. (The views expressed in these Forums are independent and do not represent the PSCWA or RUCSN.)
