Research on the childcare needs of parents who work atypical hours or live in rural communities

Are you a parent who works atypical hours (e.g. part-time work, shift work, nights, weekends) or a parent who lives in a rural community?

If so, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) would like to hear from you about your childcare needs.

We are holding a number of online focus groups to consult with parents about this topic.
