Rejected petition Review the planned roll out for childcare support following chancellors budget

Rejected on 21 March 2023

Review the rollout timeframe with practical suggestions of what childcare support working families can access in a cost of living crisis to level the playing field for all families. Have conversations affected families & listen to practical suggestions that could inform policy making decisions.

Families not qualifing for help until Sept'24/25 will continue to endure financial struggles in a cost of living crisis. Working families face sizeable childcare fees to return to work, working more hours than they spend with their children to make it financially viable. For those struggling NOW the rollout is bound to have significant mental health impacts with lengthy waits to receive support. Support those supporting the system & their families by having REAL conversations with those affected
