Some community child care services are very dependent on Community Employment participants to make up their numbers. This is not always in the interests of children in services or indeed of the CE participants themselves. However, in recognition of the difficulties that the new qualification requirements could create for some services, this issue is being considered in the context of finalising the revised Child Care Regulations and in consultation with Tusla.
