Britain’s poorest regions set for £300 billion boost under radical plan to cash in on post-Brexit freedoms
Leading think tank, The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), today welcomed the announcement that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will invest 500m in early years support.
Gavin Rice, Head of the CSJ’s Work and Welfare Policy unit, said:
“Stronger families are at the heart of a stronger society, and it’s fantastic to see the Chancellor investing £500 million in 75 new family hubs. Family hubs, a policy idea pioneered by the Centre for Social Justice, will provide vital support, direction and a one-stop-shop for new families as we recover from the pandemic.”
The CSJ played a key role, in partnership with the Fabian Society, providing the secretariat for the Early Years Commission, whose work has informed the new policy.
Over nine months, the Early Years Commission heard from organisations and individuals committed to giving every child the best start in life and pushing for a change in early years policy.
