National Parents Council (NPC) Tusla Survey
The National Parents Council (NPC) invite parents to complete a survey on Tusla early years. Please take the time to complete the survey.
Context: TUSLA has an Early Year's Inspectorate; these are people who visit childcare services such as pre-schools and creches. Their role is to make sure that childcare services are safe, warm and caring environments for children to play and learn and reach their full potential. The National Parents Council has been invited by the Department of Children (DCEDIY) to give feedback on behalf of parents, on the Early Year's Inspectorate. Whether your child currently attends a childcare service or not your opinion is important to help us so that we can reflect your views.

St Nicholas Parents' Association
Our school is very fortunate to have a very active Parents’ Association, which is also affiliated to the National Parents’ Association.
The Parents’ Association is the structure through which parents/guardians in a school can work together for the best possible education for their children. The Parents’ Association works with the Principal, Board of Management and staff to build an effective partnership between the home and school. Partnership between the home and school is important, as with positive and active partnership children receive the best that primary education can offer.
You will receive regular updates from the committee regarding the work of the Parents’ Association and you are also invited to participate in all of its activities. You will also be invited to attend the Annual General Meeting and I would strongly encourage you to attend and consider becoming a member of the committee if nominated.
Should you have any queries please contact the Parents Association at their email address
