Tackling disadvantage through childcare

By Megan Jarvie, Richard Ollerearnshaw and Emma Goddard

Childcare holds the power to tackle disadvantage by enabling parents to work and boosting children’s outcomes. But this opportunity is being missed and new government investment risks entrenching rather than changing an unequal system. We outline our proposal for a new childcare system that better meets families’ needs, particularly those facing disadvantage.
