Early Years Providers and Educators to protest in Dublin on February 5th 2020

'Together for Early Years' is calling on the next Government to:
  1. Double funding to ECEC services on an incremental basis over the lifetime of the next government, starting in September 2020, bringing Ireland closer to the EU average 
  2. Provide the necessary funding and mechanism for a Living Wage for Early Years Educators in 2020 as a first step towards professional pay and recognition

  4. Establish a streamlined inspection process with a graded compliance system 
  5. Support effective policy development by engagement with the ECEC sector through respectful negotiation and a co-design approach​
