See, hear and properly support early years providers
As a minimum, Government needs to vastly increase the amount paid to providers in 15/30 hours and SEND funding. Support providers to better recruit and retain talent. Alongside, reforming the support structure provided by local authorities and review Ofsted - as a regulatory model and framework.
The early years sector in the United Kingdom is currently in crisis. After years of under funding and inadequate support from local authorities, providers are now struggling both operationally and financially.
The sector is struggling to recruit and retain staff, because of the low pay and minimum wage associated with the sector. It is struggling to give children the best start in life due to the lack of support from local authorities and families are struggling to afford rising fees.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the early years sector, but it's not clear exactly what actions you want the Government to take. The Government is not directly responsible for the pay of early years providers, or recruitment and retention in the sector, but we could accept a petition calling for increased public funding for early years providers. Your petition also calls for reform of local authorities and a review of Ofsted, but it's not clear what reforms you want, or what aspects of Ofsted you want to be reviewed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
