Jules Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 The APPG for Childcare and Early Education met remotely in mid-November to discuss the priorities for a meaningful review of childcare policy. The FSF are one of the sponsors of the APPG, and Helen and Jack from our Education Team were there. The meeting was well attended, with over one hundred interested parties including sponsors, practitioners, and parliamentarians – among many others. The key speakers were Helen Donohue, Julian Grenier and Dr Laura Jana. They presented their key reasons and top considerations for completing a comprehensive review of childcare policy. Some of the many topics discussed were the outdated funding formula, the lifelong importance of quality early childcare and raising the profile of early years education. We are all in agreement the review is sorely needed and hope to see the issues discussed further down the line in parliament. 1
