Dear Service Provider,
Please see the recent press release by the Department of Children, Disability and Equality announcing regarding the launch of the new Nurturing Skills website launched by the Department at the national conference – ‘Continuing the Journey: Exploring the updated Aistear’ – which took place in Dublin last Saturday.
This new online platform, nurturingskills.ie, will support over 31,000 staff working with 235,000 children in early learning and care, school-age childcare and childminding settings in Ireland. It offers practical tools, reflective resources and professional guidance to promote inclusive practice and protect their own health and wellbeing.
The Nurturing Skills website will host the new Nurturing Skills Learning Hub, which provides educators with easy access to learning materials and training opportunities in several areas including Inclusive practice, Health & wellbeing and the Irish language.
The website also represents a significant milestone towards achieving a national Continuing Professional Development system for the sector, which was a commitment in Nurturing Skills: The Workforce Development Plan.
