Today we’re launching new research with @RefugeeEdUK into the experiences of early childhood education and care for refugee and asylum seeker families in England. Read the full research and recommendations here 👇📑 unicef.uk/ECEC
Senior UK Policy Advisor on Education, @davidbrad1991, responds to the Education Select Committee’s report on early education. You can read the full report here: buff.ly/473nECx A thread🧵
UNICEF UK is deeply concerned that vulnerable children who are seeking safety in the UK will be put at greater risk by the passing of the Illegal Immigration Bill today. Read the full statement here: unicef.uk/80mxie #ForEveryChild
The first few years of a child’s life are vital to their now and their future but they aren’t getting the support they need. The UK Gov must deliver a Baby & Toddler Guarantee so no child misses out. Thank you to all the orgs and individuals putting their name to this letter 💙
Good to speak with @mariellaf1 a few minutes ago on the need for a national Baby & Toddler Guarantee and how this must become a priority. 80+ organisations have joined with us to write to the Prime Minister today. #earlymomentsmatter unicef.org.uk/campaign-with-…

Dear @RishiSunak, Right now, babies and toddlers across the country aren’t getting the essential support they need. For too many, local services aren’t available, from health visitor appointments to high-quality, affordable childcare. #EarlyMomentsMatter

/1 Despite welcome signs of progress, @MMHAlliance latest report on the provision of mental health services for parents and carers during pregnancy and the first few years of a child's life, shows worrying and persistent regional inequalities in its availability across the UK.

661 Followers 1K Following Researcher @ CPEC - Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (formerly PSSRU), London School of Economics and Political ScienceClarion call for action from @UNICEF on child poverty, where UK shows the largest increase of the countries considered between 2012-14 and 2019-21. I have slight quibbles* with some of their methodology so here's my version of one of their charts. UK still bottom of league. 1/5
Poverty impacts children from the moment they are born which is why we launched our campaign for a #BabyAndToddlerGuarantee. It is crucial that governments invest early to provide a range of support to mitigate the impacts of poverty on babies and young children.
When governments choose to target financial support at children, it works. That's why UNICEF UK is calling on the UK Gov to take urgent steps to protect the nation’s children from the risks posed by poverty – by scrapping the two-child policy limit and removing the benefits cap.
In @UNICEF's latest Report Card published today, the UK has seen the biggest increase in child poverty of all the OECD/EU countries, ranking 37th of 39 overall. Rates of #ChildPoverty have increased by more than 20% in the last decade. Read it here - unicef.org/globalinsight/…
The UK has seen the biggest increase in child poverty of all the OECD/EU countries rated in UNICEF’s latest Report Card published today. Rates of child poverty in the UK have increased by more than 20% (half a million children). #foreverychild unicef.org/globalinsight/…
Huge thanks to @BBCCiN for the support they show to Home-Starts around the UK. Their funding helps us make a critical difference to children and families. We hope tonight is a big success and raises lots of £££s. #BecauseChildhoodCantWait #BBCChildrenInNeed
Great to join the #ShapingUs @Earlychildhood National Symposium & experience the energy of the Princess of Wales bring the science on early childhood development forward into practical solutions to support our youngest children as an investment in the future. #earlymomentsmatter
