answer text <p>In March, the department published an early years’ workforce strategy, the Early Years Workforce Strategy, which can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-workforce-strategy" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-workforce-strategy</a>. This set out a number of measures to support the sector to recruit, retain and develop staff. These measures are currently being implemented. To support recruitment, for example, we consulted with the sector and as a result broadened out the English and maths qualification requirements for level 3 staff to include other suitable level 2 qualifications, including functional skills.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme was closed at the end of 2013 when the transitional employment restrictions applied to nationals of Bulgaria and Romania were lifted. Until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force. The agricultural sector will until then continue to be able to recruit EU-national workers to meet their labour needs until the UK leaves the EU.</p><p>There are a number of options as to how EU migration might work once we have left. We are about to begin these negotiations and it would be wrong to set out further positions in advance. At every step of these negotiations we will work to ensure the best possible outcome for the British people.</p> more like this

The Government has been clear that there will be no immediate changes to our practices surrounding the CTA.

The Prime Minister and the Taoiseach have reiterated their intention for both countries to work together to maintain the CTA.</p> more like this
