My Department engaged in an advertising campaign to bring sectoral and public awareness to the new School Aged Childcare regulations which commenced on 18th February 2019.
The overall objective is to keep costs of this nature to a minimum and advertising services are only used when deemed necessary in the course of Departmental activity.
