The updated Service Profile is now available on the Early Years Hive.
As communicated on 24 April, the below outlines the changes that have been made:
Facility Details section:
- Two new mandatory questions about wheelchair accessibility were added. These questions were previously part of the Annual Early Years Sector Profile and will now be blank and are mandatory to complete.
Staff Members section:
- New mandatory questions were added for each staff type.
- Two job titles were removed from the ‘Out of Ratio’ staff type: AIM Level 7 (Assigned to specific children) and Equal Start Resource Allocation. Existing ‘Out of Ratio’ staff with these job titles were updated to ‘In Ratio Staff.’ These need to be reviewed, and all mandatory fields updated.
All new questions are mandatory, you must review and update information for all existing staff members. Partner Services are responsible for ensuring their Service Profile is accurate and up to date.
A detailed Service Profile guidance document and training videos are available on the Early Years Hive to help services update their Service Profile.
Wicklow County Childcare Committee are available to assist you in completing your Service Profile.
