Dr. Naomi Feely:

We do not because the roll-out of the first programme year began in September. The Children's Rights Alliance did a survey of childcare providers in October and asked them whether they had been designated as Equal Start providers. However, that was only one month into the programme. We are now coming towards the end of the programme year. As an evaluation aspect has been embedded into Equal Start, I think the Department will be collecting data around that, which will be important.
