Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 March 2022
159. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth when the review of the operating system for early learning and care and school-age childcare will be published. [13343/22]
View answerIn 'First 5, the Whole of Government Strategy for Babies, Young Children and their Families', my Department committed to completing a comprehensive review of the operating model for ELC and SAC. The objective of the Review is to ensure that the operating model is fit for purpose to implement policy relating early learning and childcare to the scale and standards required in an evolving and expanding sector, with the citizens of Ireland at its heart as core beneficiaries.
I am pleased to report that this Review has concluded and a report on the Review is being finalised. I look forward to bringing this report to Government in the coming weeks.
