Supports Available for Partner Services

Supports are available from the Department where a Partner Service is experiencing financial difficulty or has concerns about their viability, accessed through local City or County Childcare Committee (CCC).

The CCCs are available to support local ELC and SAC providers with queries associated with Core Funding. In particular, questions relating to specific Service Profile requirements, or the Core Funding Application Module should be directed to the local City and County Childcare Committee in the first instance. This support can take the form of assisting services with interpreting analysis of staff ratios and cash flow, as well as more specialised advice and support appropriate to individual circumstances.
