Dear Provide

Minister Foley recently launched the Public Consultation on the Regulation of School Age Childcare and of Early Learning and Care Services.

The Department is developing comprehensive School Age Childcare Regulations and giving further consideration to which services should and should not be subject to these regulations. 

In addition to questions on school-age childcare, the survey also includes a number of questions relating to potential changes to the regulations for early learning and care services.

This consultation is an opportunity for parents, school-age childcare practitioners, providers and other stakeholders to shape the legislation that supports the regulation of school-age childcare services.

We want to hear your views so please make your voice heard by joining the public consultation here. 

We would also ask that you bring this consultation to the attention of parents of children attending your service. 

You can read the full press release here.

Regards,
Early Years Division.
