Latest NI Childcare Survey now open: Don’t miss this opportunity to have your voice heard | Newry News
Leading childcare charity Employers For Childcare is asking all parents and childcare providers in Northern Ireland to take just a few minutes to share their experiences of using and providing childcare in the latest Northern Ireland Childcare Survey.
This survey is the most comprehensive ongoing research into childcare in Northern Ireland and will be critical in informing work on the new Childcare Strategy, which is currently underway.
Marie Marin, Chief Executive of Employers For Childcare, explains why it is vital that as many parents and childcare providers as possible complete this important survey, “The new Childcare Strategy for Northern Ireland is currently in development.
“And the findings of this survey will help to shape the direction of this long-awaited and urgently-needed new childcare policy.
“What parents and childcare providers tell us through this research will be used to help secure greater investment in our childcare sector, to support parents, children and childcare providers.
“We share the frustration of parents and childcare providers who feel they are being left further behind as a result of the ever-widening gap between support for childcare here and elsewhere in the UK and Ireland.
“This is why it’s more important than ever to complete this year’s survey – to send a message to our politicians and policy-makers that this is a critical economic and social issue that requires urgent attention.
“We need to present a strong voice for change, and we need your help.”
Parents and childcare providers who complete the survey can win one of two £50 shopping vouchers.
The survey is available now on the Employers For Childcare website.
