CEPEOLabour has proposed a 5 point mission plan to #EqualiseOpportunities
1. Make security the foundation of opportunity
2. Reform childcare and early years support so children have the best start in life
- Deliver new childcare places, workforce reforms, & high standards.
- Childcare as education – must be about providing every child with the best start in life, not just childcare for parents.
This is one of our policy priorities. Read the evidence here:
