Fund free meals for vulnerable children in early years settings

We want the government to fund free meals for vulnerable children in early years settings. Currently disadvantaged children in schools have access to free meals, but there are vulnerable children in early year childcare settings who do not receive the same support.

Younger children in childcare settings appear to have been left out by the Government’s policy on free meals. In the current climate, when many families are facing hardship, the Government needs to ensure vulnerable children in early years settings have their basic needs met, by funding free meals for these children.

All children have the right to have their basic needs met!
