In line with the Phase 3 – Heightened Alert stance from 8 May to 30 May 2021 announced by the Multi-Ministry Taskforce, the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) will enhance safe management measures (SMMs) in preschools and Early Intervention (EI) centres.

The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) announced new initiatives to (1) enhance the quality and affordability of disability care services; and (2) improve case management support for persons with disabilities with high support needs. This will help families who are caring for persons with disabilities and give them greater assurance that their loved ones will be well-supported. These efforts further the vision set out in Singapore’s Enabling Masterplan to enable all persons with disabilities to fulfil their potential and participate as integral and contributing members of society.
The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) announced a suite of new initiatives to enhance the support for persons with disabilities and their families, across their life stages.

The Ministry for Social and Family Development (MSF) announced the addition of seven new members to the Council for Board Diversity (CBD) in 2021. The members will serve a two-year term. The CBD was established by MSF to promote a sustained increase in the number of women on boards of listed companies, statutory boards, and Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs) in Singapore. This change refreshes a third of the Council, providing the opportunity to tap on fresh perspectives and valuable insights.
