<< Objectives >>To strengthen Family Day Care (FDC), this peer learning project will explore examples of effective policies and implementation in FDC governance and management systems, workforce professionalisation and development, and recruitment and retention in Ireland, Flanders, and Denmark. The learning will be shared with target groups responsible for policymaking in partner countries. The project will increase the partners' advocacy capacity and enable exploration of further cooperation opportunities.<< Implementation >>This aim will be achieved through 3 LTTA (Learning, Teaching, Training Activities) in Flanders, Denmark and Ireland and the development and dissemination of a final report and documentation detailing the learning arising.<< Results >>Expected results are that partners and target groups will demonstrate improved knowledge of effective policy options and instruments for FDC systems development, workforce professionalisation and development, and recruitment and retention; stakeholders will engage with the learning communicated through project outputs; project partners will demonstrate an increased capacity to advocate for effective FDC policy; and partners will explore further cooperation, including with family day carers.
