The Prime Minister announced a crusade on social mobility within the UK (see Downing St. news release).
Key points:
- Moving to offer nursery places to 2 year old's in the most disadvantaged communities.
- Pilots in certain areas, to give one off payments of £200 to parents who use services such as Children's Centres.
- Publish a plan for child care and early learning and reforms to how these are funded to be released later.
- Doubling the number of Teach First placements, a scheme aimed at getting the best graduates into schools serving disadvantaged communities.
- Increasing, by 10 more local authorities, the use of the Family Intervention Project, a cross government, multi-agency approach to tackle anti-social behaviour by intensive engagement of families.
