Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Childcare: Impact of Covid-19 (Resumed).

Ms Bernie McNally:

We have looked at the survey. It is fair to say that we have carried out our own surveys, as have several other organisations. All those surveys have helped to design and feed into everything we have done in recent weeks, including the funding model for July and August. Indeed, they will feed into the model to be put in place from the end of August onwards. Much of the information in the Crann Support Group survey reinforced issues of which we were already aware, such as struggles around workforce issues, pay and conditions, security of position and sustainability. It reinforced much of what we knew or suspected and it is actively feeding into our process. Crann is part of the advisory group and, as such, we meet Ms Daly weekly.
