Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Integration

My Department appointed a National Childminding Coordinator in 2019 to oversee supports for childminders - including supports delivered through the City and County Childcare Committees - and to assist in the development and initial implementation of the forthcoming Childminding Action Plan. The National Childminding Coordinator position remains filled.
