A message from Children's Minister David Johnston OBE MP 👇

There are storms ahead.

The dangers are all too real.

But with bold action and a clear plan we can and we will create a more secure future.

My vision 👇

From today, eligible parents of children who will be 9 months old by 31st August 2024 can apply for 15 hours of childcare a week 👶

Here’s everything you need to know, including how to apply ⬇️

I don’t want parents to have to choose between growing their family and their career.

That’s why we’re delivering the largest expansion of childcare in our country’s history.

Being in school is fundamental to children's wellbeing.

Our school attendance strategy led to 375,000 more children being in school almost every day last year and has been recognised by the OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives 👇

The economy has turned a corner. Today's news proves that.

We know things are still tough for many people, but the plan is working, and we must stick to it.

Today we've announced the locations of 16 new special free schools across England.

From Bury to Surrey to Solihull, these schools will provide thousands of vital spaces for pupils whose needs can't be met in mainstream education.

We're taking the long-term decisions to grow our economy:

✅ Tackling inflation
✅ Cutting taxes
✅ Encouraging investment

The IMF predict that cumulative real GDP growth in the UK over the next 6 years will be higher than in the majority of G7 Italy states.

Today you get to choose who runs your local services.

Conservatives keep council tax low and deliver better local services.

Whenever Labour runs something, they run it into the ground.

✅ Vote Conservative to deliver a brighter future for your area.

A rise in school absence is a global challenge since the pandemic; countries around the world are grappling with it.

Around 10 million adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus

Yet only 150,000 people can use British Sign Language

That’s why from September next year, we’re introducing the BSL GCSE to help break down barriers for the deaf community 👇
