DCEDIY have commissioned Stranmillis University College to carry out an independent 10-year review of the ECCE programme, led by Dr Glenda Walsh. The purpose of the review is to establish which aspects of the current programme work well and what needs to be improved, and the findings will inform future developments to the programme.
As part of the review, they would like to visit 30 ECCE settings across the country to observe “ECCE in practice” and speak to managers, staff, parents and children about their experiences and views on the ECCE programme. They are currently recruiting ECCE settings for these visits. See flyer below for details.
