Written answers

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

The final report of the ECCE Review is now complete.

The aim of the review was to independently assess the implementation of the ECCE Programme and its impact.

The Review was informed by comprehensive stakeholder engagement with parents, ECCE providers and staff and representatives from disadvantaged groups.

My Department is considering the findings of the review and possible enhancements to the programme.

I expect to publish the report in the comings weeks.
