Eolas d’oideachasóirí agus ceannairí luathbhlianta

Déantar Cigireachtaí atá dírithe ar an Oideachas sna Luathbhlianta i seirbhísí luathbhlianta atá rannpháirteach i gClár Cúram agus Oideachas na Luathóige. Is clár é seo lena soláthraítear tréimhse chúram agus oideachas Luathóige saor in aisce do leanaí roimh dóibh tosú ar an scoil.

Le linn na gcigireachtaí seo déanaimid measúnú ar cháilíocht nádúr, raon agus oiriúnacht na n-eispéireas luathoideachais do leanaí a ghlacann páirt i gClár Cúram agus Oideachas na Luathóige. Is í príomhghníomhaíocht nacigireachta atá dírithe ar an Oideachas sna Luathbhlianta ná go bhféachann an cigire ar phróisis agus ar chleachtais a bhaineann le foghlaim na leanaí i seomra nó i limistéar foghlama amháin nó níos mó díobh, sa suíomh luathbhlianta.

I ndeireadh gach cigireachta tugaimid aiseolas do na cleachtóirí agus d’úinéirí/bainisteoirí (má tá siad ar fáil) luathbhlianta maidir le cáilíocht soláthar oideachais sa suíomh. Ina dhiaidh sin seolaimid tuarascáil i scríbhinn chuig an réamhscoil a ndearnadh cigireacht uirthi. Sa tuarascáil seo mínítear torthaí na cigireachta agus tugtar comhairle i dtaobh tuilleadh forbartha a dhéanamh, nó feabhas a chur, ar an soláthar oideachais sa suíomh. Foilsítear tuarascáil na cigireachta ar ár suíomh gréasáin agus ar shuíomh na Roinne Leanaí agus Gnóthaí Óige.

Déanann cigireacht leantach luathbhliantat ar an dul chun cinn atá déanta ag seirbhís luathbhlianta ar fheidhmiú moltaí a rinneadh i gcigireacht níos luaithe nuair a foilsíodh nó nuair a eisíodh tuairisc scríofa chuig an seirbhís. Is iad na moltaí sa tuairisc a foilsíodh nó a eisíodh a chinneann formáid na cigireachta.

Ceadaíonn an próiseas solúbthacht imleor chun fianaise a bhailiú maidir leis an dul chun cinn atá déanta ar chur i bhfeidhm roinnt de na príomh-mholtaí, nó iad uile, a rinneadh sa tuairisc chigireachta bhunaidh. Soláthraímid aiseolas ó bhéal ag deireadh na gcigireachtaí agus soláthraímid tuarascáil scríofa a fhoilsítear ar ár suíomh gréasáin.

Early Learning and Care (ELC) and School Age Childcare (SAC) settings are also inspected by the TUSLA Early Years Inspectorate.

The Tusla Early Years Inspectorate is the independent statutory regulator of ELC and SAC services in Ireland. It is responsible for the registration and inspection of all ELC and SAC services including playgroups, day nurseries, crèches, day care, school-age childcare, and similar services catering for children aged 0–14 years.

The Tusla Early Years Inspectorate is committed to ensuring that children attending ELC and SAC services are safe, that they receive appropriate care and have a positive experience where they can develop and learn in a quality service. This is achieved through the registration, inspection and enforcement processes prescribed by law and implemented by the Tusla Early Years Inspectorate.

Tusla inspects all ELC services at least once every three years and, in some cases, more frequently. Inspections assess the service’s compliance with the Regulations and, in particular:

• that the service is well governed,
• the health, welfare and development of each child is supported,
• children are safe in the service, and
• the premises are safe and suitable for children’s early learning and care.

Following an inspection, the Inspectorate will provide the service with a draft inspection report. Where non-compliances are found, the service will have an opportunity to respond and to rectify any such non-compliance. The final published inspection reports are publicly available and can be found here. More information on the Tusla Early Years Inspectorate can be found here.
