Community Union is proud to form part of the new Early Education and Childcare Coalition (EECC) which calls on the government and all political parties to reform early years education in England.
The coalition, which includes more than 30 leading organisations in the sector, is set to launch formally on September 7th. The EECC will work together on the key mission of establishing an early education and childcare system that works for all children and parents as well as the wider economy. Key issues under the coalition’s consideration include the quality and affordability of provision available to families in all communities; pay and conditions for Early Years workforce; and wider concerns around government funding for the sector.
Helen Osgood, National Officer for Education and Early Years at Community Union, said:
“As the union for early years professionals, Community is proud to form part of this important new coalition pushing for reform of a sector which has long been undervalued by the government.
“We look forward to working closely with partners in the coalition and continuing to campaign on behalf of our members in the sector, building on the landmark Early Years Charter which we launched earlier this summer.”
