The most recent data held by the Department shows that from 2008 – 2013, the proportion of male staff in the early years workforce has consistently remained at 2% (Childcare Provider Survey, 2013).

The Department will be publishing a workforce strategy in 2017, which will seek to remove the barriers to attracting, retaining and developing staff.
