Mar chuid den Comhrá Náisiúnta ar an Oideachas – Na Chéad 5 Bliana agus Cúram Leanaí in Aois Scoile tá an Roinn ag reáchtáil imeachtaí comhairliúcháin áitiúla idir 20 – 30 Aibreán ar bhonn náisiúnta. Eagróidh agus soláthróidh na Coistí Contae agus Cathrach i gCúram Leanaí (CCCanna) na comhairliúcháin seo.

Mairfidh gach seisiúin comhairliúcháin ar feadh thart ar 1.5 – 2 uair, ag tabhairt deis do gach rannpháirtí cuir leis an comhairliúcháin. Tá áiteanna don seisiúin comhairliúcháin teoranta, mar sin moltar áiteanna a chur in áirithe go luath chun dioma a sheachaint
