Consultation on Development of new Equal Participation Model
The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is developing a new Equal Participation Model which will seek to promote equal participation and access for all children to early learning and care and school aged childcare services. Parents, particularly parents of children experiencing different forms of disadvantage and inequality, have been identified as an essential stakeholder whose voice should inform the development of the Equal Participation Model.
The Children's Rights Alliance are running consultations on behalf of the Department to collect the views of parents.

In particular, the Children's Rights Alliance are seeking to include the views of parents who are living in disadvantage, migrant and refugee parents, one parent families, and parents from Traveller and Roma communities.
