Provide free childcare for working families&subsidised part-time for non-workers

Provide free childcare for working families&subsidised part-time for non-workers — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Introduce free full-time childcare for working families and part-time subsidised places for non-working families to boost workforce participation, reduce childcare costs, and improve child outcomes, while ensuring fairness and efficient use of public funds.

Additional details

Rising childcare costs make it unaffordable for working parents, while families on benefits often get free places. This discourages workforce participation and limits opportunities for children. Providing free childcare for working families and subsidised part-time places for others promotes fairness, boosts productivity, and improves child development outcomes.
