PPN News
Community Group Insurance Survey PPNs across Ireland have been hearing about the growing financial burden that rising insurance is having on the work of community groups and activities across the country.
In order to respond on your behalf, we need to know the facts and have evidence about how this is affecting your work. The PPN network will present this information at national platforms on your behalf.
This survey is anonymous though excerpts from what you tell us will be shared to help inform a national response around insurance issues. The survey takes around 4 minutes to complete.

Active Public Consultations/ Notices
School Age Childcare 2019 Consultation Survey
The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Dr Katherine Zappone TD, launched a public consultation process on future regulations and a quality improvement framework for school-age childcare.
The numbers of families accessing school-age childcare has seen significant growth and development in recent years. It is expected that the families of more than 21,000 school going children will benefit from subsidies through the National Childcare Scheme when it starts later this year. In addition, €3.45m in capital funding has been invested since 2017 to create an additional 6,131 school-age childcare places. The National Childcare Scheme will provide financial support towards the cost of childcare for parents availing of these services.
The Department of Children and Youth Affairs is now seeking to build on this work by developing comprehensive Regulations and a quality improvement framework. This work will build on draft quality standards that were prepared by a national working group in 2018 and which are being published as part of the public consultation.
From now until Friday 5th July at 17:00 pm interested parties and members of the public, including children, will be able to make a submission or fill out the online survey
A consultation with school age children was carried out as part of the development of the Action Plan on School Age Childcare, published in 2017.
Individuals or organisations with an interest in School-Age Childcare services can make a submission by sending the completed form with relevant attachments to SacQuality@dcya.gov.ie by Friday 5th July at 17:00pm
