Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Issues Regarding Childcare Facilities: Discussion

Ms Bernie McNally:

I will add to that. We will know that we have succeeded in having high-quality services when we need to have fewer inspections. Some very developed countries that have been making considerable investment for decades have moved away from the hard stick of regulation to more of a self-evaluation and so on. This is where services are already highly professional, highly valued and of a high standard. That is where we want to be, but we have a way to go yet.
