Appendix 2

Stakeholder Engagement Process

These Guidelines are underpinned by in-depth research and supported by an extensive engagement process with key stakeholders. Some key highlights of the stakeholder engagement process include:

• Case studies involving 10 settings throughout the country.
• Fourteen settings were visited to take photographs.
• Four settings submitted examples of best practice.
• Two Stakeholder Workshops: 75 participants in total.
• Extensive review of international literature and best practice.

This stakeholder engagement process is outlined in detail in the research report Early Years Settings from a Universal Design Approach - Research Key Findings Report 2018.
