Officers from the Department for Communities and the Department of Education and Training are currently involved in meeting compelling timelines for the first component of the NECDS. This initial component aims to bring early education and care services closer together and improve quality. It includes the development of an integrated licensing and accreditation system and a rating system to provide easily accessible information on quality to parents.
