Dear Service Provider,
Please note that Early Learning and Care/School Age Childcare Providers located within a school premises or on the school grounds, and where the school is used as a polling station for elections/referendums on a day which the ELC/SAC service is scheduled to be open are not required:
- to amend their calendars
- or
- apply for force majeure.
Affected services providing the ECCE programme are not required to make up that day for the purposes of meeting the 182-day rule in the programme year.
Regards,
The Early Years Team
