Carlow CCC and Wicklow CCC are delighted to offer ‘Always Children First (ACF) Foundation Training for Childminders’. This programme has been developed to support Childminders to understand their responsibilities under the Children First National Guidance and the Children First Act, 2015.

This training programme considers the unique position of Childminders and the home environment in keeping children safe from harm and will provide you with the resources and information to help you support children to grow, develop and achieve their full potential.

Prior to attending Always Children First Training, Childminders are required to complete the following eLearning Programmes:
