Create an independent early years funding review
We ask Government to establish an Independent Early Years Funding Review Body. Similar to the School Teachers’ Review Body, it could take evidence from providers, parents and experts and recommend fair funding rates based on actual costs, not political decisions, for the Government to respond to.
Introduce legal minimum ratios of care home staff to residents
We call on the Government to introduce minimum staff-to-resident ratios in all care homes, so every resident receives the attention, dignity, and safety they deserve.
Mandate stricter childcare staff ratios: In-room presence & 2:1 qualified staff
Urge the Government to strengthen nursery staff-to-child ratio laws by mandating two key changes to the EYFS. The safety and quality of young children's care hinge on the expertise of practitioners. Current regulations lack safeguards, risking understaffing and inadequate support in child care.
Review use of the 'Child in Need label by social workers & local authorities
We think the government should have a full, urgent review of how safeguarding applies to disabled children. We want respect and compassion for parent carers doing their best under impossible circumstances.
Pause and review the use of EdTech in schools and early years settings
Pause all pupil-facing 1:1 device and EdTech use in schools and early years settings—except for children with specific technology needs—unless and until reputable, independent assessments confirm both net educational benefit and no unacceptable safeguarding, health or wellbeing risks for children.
