Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Some told us that they were already doing well on early years as a legacy of their children’s centres, which had stayed open. They wanted to use family hub and Start for Life funding to focus efforts on families with older children, where they had previously struggled to make progress. However, they were stymied in this by the tight specifications around Start for Life funding, albeit that this allowed them to strengthen early years provision further.
