Survey – Impact of unregistered school-age childcare provision

In January 2023, the Department of Education (DE) released guidance to schools in Northern Ireland, clarifying their position regarding the need for registration of breakfast and afterschool provision with the Health and Social Care Trust (HSCT).
 
It has become evident that a growing number of primary schools have introduced services under this guidance such as afterschool provision which are negatively impacting existing, registered School-Age Childcare services. PlayBoard continues to be concerned at these developments and is now seeking the views of registered School-Age Childcare providers in order to ascertain the direct impact this is having on their services.
