To support services to meet their regulatory requirement the DCEDIY has extended and altered the FAR Reimbursement Fund which will fund one FAR first aid training place per registered ELC, SAC and CM, to a maximum of €225 per full course or €175 per refresher course.  See links below for further details and application form or, you can call 094 96 22540 or email info@roscommonchildcare.ie
