About Nurturing Skills
First 5, the whole-of-Government strategy for babies, young children and their families, set out a vision for Early Learning and Care (ELC) and other policies for young children throughout 2019-2028. It included a number of targets related to the workforce for ELC and School-Age Childcare (SAC), including the development of a new Workforce Plan for ELC and SAC, including childminders.
The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth published the report, ‘Nurturing Skills: The Workforce Plan for Early Learning and Care and School-Age Childcare, 2022-2028’ in December 2021. This plan sets out a series of actions to meet the workforce related targets in First 5 and includes an implementation plan for the next three years (2022-2024).
