Abstract
In this issue of Childcare eNews, we bring you details of the launch of the new Child and
Family Agency, Tusla. With its remit to unite education welfare and family support
together with child protection and welfare services, we in Barnardos see the launch of
the agency as a crucial step forward in cross-departmental liaison and interagency
integration.
We also highlight the comprehensive 'Final Report on the Development and
Implementation of the Síolta Quality Assurance Programme' by the Early Years
Education Policy Unit of the Department of Education and Skills and give news
of updates on Pre-School Quality Improvements from Minister Frances Fitzgerald. In this
issue there are also details of a number of other recent publications including the
CAMHS Annual Report, a new information leaflet about cyberbullying from the Office of
Internet Safety and the paper 'Early childhood education and care: Working conditions
and training opportunities' from Eurofound.
