Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

National Action Plan for Childminding 2021-2028: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

My point is not related to today's meeting, but for the information of the committee. I am conscious the agency would normally by statute publish its annual report at the end of May, but obviously it was buried in the system that was excluded under the cyberattack. It is ready but we cannot do any type of webinar publications at the moment. It is too complex for us so we will be publishing the annual report online and in limited paper version within the next fortnight. Also, our three-year corporate plan expired at the end of 2020 and the corporate plan for 2021-2023 will be published by circulation to the media and the committee on, I think, 13 July, with wider distribution to our stakeholders the following week. We have had to move from less printing and online provision to a little more printing because we are online challenged at the moment. They are two significant documents for the agency and the members of this committee who have stewardship of that brief. I wanted to notify the committee that those events are coming up and again to apologise to everybody for the slight delay in respect of the normal timelines.
