BLACK DOOR LAW AND THE EARLY CHILDHOOD COUNCIL The Early Childhood Council and Black Door Law have been exploring ways to add real value to the Early Childhood Council members. On 1 December 2022, Black Door Law will be the Early Childhood Council’s preferred supplier for employment law advice including the refreshed ECC Employer Helpline. The helpline will now provide 20 minute free consultations to all financial members of the ECC. The helpline is available between 8.30am and 5pm Monday to Friday (except public holidays and the Christmas New Year closedown). In the event a specialist employment lawyer is not immediately available Black Door Law will arrange a call back at a convenient time to the member. In the event that your query is unable to be answered in the session, Black Door Law offers preferred rates to ECC members to help them solve their employment law issues. The Early Childhood Council and Black Door Law are aligned in their commitment to people, and how supporting one person has a ripple effect that will support the tamariki in the centres supported by ECC which will help to make New Zealand a country that we can all be proud of. MORE ABOUT CARO The eagle eyed among you may have spotted Caro at the conference in October. To help you understand more about the person behind the firm we sat down with Caro to find out more about her and Black Door Law. WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? I was born and raised in Feilding in the Manawatu. My parents purchased a house on Kimbolton Road the year before I was born. My older brother and sister moved with my parents from the South Island to the house and my dad still lives in that house today. WHAT HAS YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE ECE BEEN LIKE? My first involvement in an ECE centre was as a child attending a small centre in Feilding. I was so attached to that centre that when I was going to be moving to Kindergarten after 3 attempts for Mum to leave me at Kindergarten she decided I should stay at the centre. My second involvement in the ECE sector was when my sister who is a trained early childhood teacher and my parents purchased the land and building of a struggling centre in Feilding. It was an old home that had been converted by the previous owners to a centre. As a teenager I spent my school holidays (before the reopening under a new name and licence) pulling staples out of the walls, painting, cleaning and being involved with this new venture. My brother and his wife now run the centres which are in the Manawatu and it has been a true family business for over two decades. I have learned a lot about the sector at the family dinner table and provided advice and this has created a real understanding of the common problems and issues faced by ECE centres. My third involvement in the sector is as a parent. I have 3 children aged 16, 5 and 2. All of which have attended ECE centres in Hawke’s Bay and Wellington. It has is really important to me to know our children are safe and happy while we are away from them. It is such a gift and all centres my children have attended have provided that over the years.
