The BPS will be responding to the Education Committee’s Inquiry into Support for Childcare and the Early Years.
The inquiry will examine how easy to navigate the current childcare system is for parents and carers, and whether current childcare entitlements are providing families with affordable and flexible childcare. The Committee will assess the effectiveness of the different funding entitlements, including those funded by the Department for Education, the Tax-Free Childcare scheme and support for childcare from the benefits and tax credit system.
Additionally, it will examine how support for childcare impacts parents/carers returning to work.
