The Comprehensive Spending
Review will set out Government spending plans for the years
2011-12 to 2014-15 and will be published on Wednesday 20 October
2010.
Government is currently engaging with
stakeholders in order to involve those most affected by
changes to public services. They are gathering written
submissions and holding a series of events to discuss and debate
various aspects of public spending.
NCMA has been working to influence the
review by outlining the work undertaken by the home-based
childcare workforce and the vital support currently
provided to families and local communities.
NCMA has demonstrated the
contribution you make by giving real life examples of your
work, including details related to giving children the best
start in life, supporting disadvantaged children and supporting
families back to work.
NCMA will continue to influence
decision makers at the Department for Education (DfE),
Treasury and other key departments over the coming month during the
ongoing discussions about future Government spending.
