​From 1 April 2018, the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) will enhance salary norms for MSF-funded programmes by up to 12 per cent across all professions and job levels. 

At the 2018 Committee of Supply debates, the Ministry of Social and Family Development announced new initiatives to transform the early childhood sector to better support young families with children, and to give every child a good start in life.

​The Ministry of Social and Family Development has worked with the Ministry of Health to include MSF's Client Assessment Form (CAF) as an alternative assessment tool for those with cognitive impairments such as Intellectual Disability (ID) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to be assessed on the level of support required for ADLs. 

​The Special Needs Trust Company (SNTC) will step up its outreach to caregivers of persons with disabilities in 2018. 

​SG Enable will set up a Caregivers' Space at the Enabling Village by the end of 2018, to serve as a meeting place for peer support groups, training of caregivers of persons with disabilities, and engagement sessions by Voluntary Welfare Organisations as well as community partners for caregivers.
