Answer
The additional action reported in the June 2022 “A Fair Start” Progress Report relates to a Belfast-wide pilot supporting children with additional needs using a two-year pre-school model. It is being tested across the whole of the city and part of its evaluation will consider future wider feasibility, subject to the availability of budget.
