July Jobs Stimulus Funding Package for Early Learning and Care (ELC) and School-Age Childcare (SAC) sector bit.ly/3hA15L1 #JobsStimulus
Access to the Revenue Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) within the July Jobs Stimulus will bring total funding provided by Government to the sector between 24 August and 31 December to just under €300m.
A special exemption for early learning and childcare services to the turnover rule within EWSS will be included to recognise the need to retain capacity in the sector and support parents to access childcare places and get back to work.
Guidance around the application process and operation of the EWSS will be available on the Revenue website in due course after the legislation has been passed.
Minister @rodericogorman thanked the eight representative groups from the sector that had assisted him in putting together a firm evidence base to identify the sector’s needs.
He praised childcare providers for the efforts they had gone to to get their services reopened and their focus on the safety and wellbeing of children, families and staff.
