The Christchurch Civic
Crèche Case |
|
The Christchurch Civic Child Care Centre was
abruptly closed yesterday after the Education Ministry withdrew its operating
licence. The decision, which follows a police briefing with ministry
officials, has left 13 staff out of work. Staff learned of the decision from city manager
John Gray, who visited the centre at closing time yesterday. The ministry said it believed the centre no longer
complied with the Early Childhood Regulations. The ministry would not comment
on whether the briefing was related to a police inquiry into sexual abuse at
the centre. |
