The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) invites parents to have their say on ELC and SAC childcare.

Parents are invited to attend these informal, online events to discuss their experience of ELC and SAC childcare, to say more about the things that are most important to them and anything they would like to see in future.

Parents’ input is very important as the Department identifies where to direct efforts and funding to continue to build a high quality, affordable and accessible ELC and SAC childcare system that meets the needs of children and families.

There are 6 sessions taking place between 23 November and 2 December.
