National Childcare Scheme
The National Childcare Scheme makes special arrangements for vulnerable children and families to be referred by certain sponsor bodies so they can receive free childcare through participating providers. Tusla, along with other statutory bodies, are a sponsor body for this scheme. Designated contact staff within Tusla approve referrals in respect of parents needing this support.
