Submissions to the July 2020 Consultation on the Review of the Child Care Act 1991

The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth held a consultation from 23 July 2020 to 11 September 2020. The consultation invited comments on a number of initial proposals to amend the legislation. The consultation paper advised that responses received might be published on the Department’s website.
