Model constitution

Young girlIf you are forming a new childminding group you may wish to use NCMA's model constitution for childminding groups.

 

NCMA offers a model constitution so that all NCMA-affiliated groups (whose members receive money off NCMA membership) have the same foundation and guidelines. This helps build a strong network of groups, all run along similar lines.

 

NCMA's model constitution for childminding groups was updated in March 2009 and notes to accompany the constitution are available using the links on the right.

 

New groups will automatically be sent the updated constitution but, if you're an existing group you may wish to replace your constitution with the new one, although it isn't compulsory.

 

If you do wish to update your constitution, your group members will need to vote on whether or not to accept it at your group's next annual general meeting.
