Single biggest reason is the commodification of children in care, which leads to profiteering by private companies running children’s homes and foster care agencies.

As members of Early Education and Childcare Coalition we’re proud to support the #RescueAndReform manifesto. Read our Director, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson's, response to the manifesto on our website: wbg.org.uk/media/press-re…

This Manifesto is an impressive result of many months of dedicated work by a strong coalition of early years organisations who hold our youngest children and their families close to their hearts

Great session just now. So pleased to be part of this important conversation. Take home message is that we can make change through public will and collective action! @ArmineYalnizyan Elliot Haspel

It’s the first week of a new government which with it brings new opportunities for progress and collaboration - now is the time to make sure childcare is firmly on the agenda, not lost in the noise.

Ontario government is pressuring federal government to fund the proliferation of for-profit child care. Here’s why Minister Jenna Sudds must say no thestar.com/opinion/contri…

European nations are making bold moves on child care, and not just tiny Nordic nations. Recently, Portugal began phasing in a universal system that will make care completely free for all families with children up to age three. socialeurope.eu/childcare-as-a…

56 child-care projects planned for public schools across Ontario 'cancelled'. "It's… clear that the province isn't [helping] non-profit and public expansion says Carolyn Ferns thetrillium.ca/news/education…

This from new National Audit Office paper is pretty damning. Poor 3 year olds are already behind their richer peers, but govt £ for these disadvantaged kids is dwarfed by support for older kids. And the childcare expansion actually helps richer families more...

Private equity devours children's care homes. Public purse pays £5,000 per child per week. 80% of homes run by corporations, profits not care is the aim. Low wages, debt, tax dodges, poor care are standard. Yet govt wants to hand NHS to corporations. thelondoneconomic.com/news/private-e…
