A CHILDCARE roadshow is heading for Consett to tackle a lack of childminders in the area.
Durham County Council's Childcare Information Service (CIS) will be at Consett Library on Tuesday, to give advice to anyone wishing to work in childcare and to advise those seeking childcare places.
The manager of the CIS, Alison Gargett, said: "We are targeting Consett because of the shortage of childcarers in the area and we will be bringing along a comprehensive database of information about childcare available within the county.
"People can also get details on how to become a childminder and other possible career opportunities within the area of childcare."
The service will be sharing the roadshow with the Directions service, part of Durham County Council's social services, which offers free and confidential advice on family, health, disability or social problems.
Both services will be at the library from 10am to 3pm.
The CIS can be contacted on 0845 602 4469, and Directions on 0800 393 726.
