DCDE CPD Mapping Exercise - Educators Survey

The Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE), in partnership with Crowe Ireland, is undertaking a National Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Mapping Exercise to identify existing CPD opportunities across the Early Learning and Care (ELC), School-Age Childcare (SAC) and Childminding sectors. 

Crowe is engaging with key stakeholders to build an overview of current CPD provision, engagement, access and future needs. Your input will help identify existing CPD, highlight gaps against sectoral skills required and to inform a needs analysis. This exercise focuses on CPD only and excludes major awards at levels 5-9 on the National Framework of Qualifications.

This survey should take no longer than 10-12 minutes to complete. Questions marked * are mandatory. You may save your progress and resume to complete your survey response later by clicking on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of your survey and selecting 'Resume Later'. Please complete and submit this survey by May 28th at 5:30pm.

Participation in this survey is voluntary. All responses will be treated confidentially, anonymised and used solely for the purpose of this research, in line with GDPR requirements.
