Public Consultation on a Review of Regulations for Early Learning and Care
Minister O’Gorman has announced the launch of a consultation seeking the public’s views on a review of the Regulations governing the Early Learning and Care (ELC) sector.
The review will primarily focus on strengthening of the enforcement powers of the Tusla Early Years Inspectorate to allow it to intervene more promptly where it has concerns about significant breaches of regulations by a service. The review will also take the opportunity to examine lessons learned from the implementation of the Regulations since 2016, looking particularly at areas for clarification or streamlining of the Regulations.
The consultation is open until 06 May, and further details can be found here:
