Change the 30 free childcare hours to include Ofsted registered nannies
We believe nannies chances of employment are drastically reducing due to the 30 free hours only being offered to childminders and nursery settings, and call on the government to include registered nannies in the offer.
Allow unpaid trainee teachers on placement to access 30 hours of free childcare
Many trainee teachers work 40+ hours per week on placement; cannot access 30 hours of free childcare per week. Trainee teachers who work on full-time placements can be excluded from vital support, forcing families to struggle and careers to stall.
Simplify the process for parents to claim entitlement to 30 Hour Free Childcare
We call on the Government to introduce legislative and operational changes to the administration of 30 hours free childcare entitlement so that eligible parents are not exposed to avoidable financial hardship and emotional distress caused by short reconfirmation windows and unclear wording.
Raise parental leave limit for parents working at least 16 hours a week
We believe raising the parental leave limit for parents working at least 16 hours a week is particularly important for single parents. We want the parental leave limit to be raised to at least 4 weeks per year.
Increase the Carer’s Allowance to equal 35 hours at minimum wage
I want the Government to appreciate unpaid carers who can’t work and to increase the Carer’s Allowance so it equals the minimum wage. Many unpaid carers are only paid around £333 a month for a minimum 140 hours care every 4 weeks, which works out around £2.50 an hour.
