The future of early years education
Early years provision is an incredibly valuable linchpin in every community and local economy, and councils have the potential to match that value with the funding and strategic support such a public service deserves, says Chlöe Darlington.
Systems need love and money
Love is at the core of a system that cares well for children, but one run on too little money will end up failing the people they are designed for, says Chloë Darlington.
Funding formula is the only answer
A Children Act Funding Formula would distribute government funding to every council so they could support every ‘child in need’, argues Chloe Darlington.
Breaking down the walls
Children need their communities, but communities need their youngsters too. And, as Chloë Darlington explains, councils are leaving one of their greatest strengths untapped.
