Storytime for childminders in County Cork
Cork County Childcare Committee and Cork County Council Library & Arts Service are delighted to invite childminders and the children they care for to a morning of stories, songs and rhymes in Clonakilty and Carrigaline libraries (see dates and times below). Librarians from both libraries will facilitate the storytime, give tips on sharing books with children as well as tell you all about the services available in your local library.
Prebooking is advised and can be done by contacting Denise on (087) 1044448 / dquinlan@corkchildcare.ie.
Why not come along with the children on the day.

Child Protection & Welfare Information & Training
Tusla Children First E-Learning Programme
Tusla has worked with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and the HSE to develop a universal e-learning programme called ‘Introduction to Children First’.
The programme has been written to support people of all backgrounds and experience in recognising concerns about children and reporting such concerns if they arise.
The programme is based on Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children and the Children First Act 2015.
To adhere to best practice in relation to Child Protection & Welfare, all childminders should complete the E-learning programme. The programme takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete and can be done at once or in a number of sittings.
