Childcare Partnerships

The Childcare Partnerships were first established in April 2000 as a result of the Northern Ireland Childcare Strategy, “Children First” (1999). The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) had lead responsibility for the delivery of this strategy. It was recognised that successful implementation of the strategy would depend on a range of professionals and agencies working together.
