The Regional Qualification Audit for Registered Group Based Childcare Settings in NI goes live on Wednesday 29 March 2023.

Information will be collected from all registered group based settings via a survey link issued by each HSC Trust.

Each setting will receive information on how to complete the online survey from their local HSC Early Years Team.

It is a mandatory requirement that each setting completes the survey as it will inform the pending review of Minimum Standards for Childminding and Daycare and also inform the Early Learning and Childcare Strategy.  The information gathered in this audit is critical in supporting the sector going forward.

Mandatory Response due by 28 April 2023.
