Indecon Economic Consultants have completed a review of the end-to-end processes linked to publicly funded early learning and childcare schemes/programmes. A report of the findings of this review has been produced, and was presented to the Advisory Group in August. Indecon has also compiled input from over 400 parents, providers, representative bodies and other key sectoral stakeholders who participated in a national consultation process.

Following recent further engagement with the Working and Advisory Groups, these reports and the Action Plan which will outline short-term, medium-term, and long-term administrative and regulatory simplification measures will be published in 2025.
