A multilingual service has been launched by the Daycare Trust to make it easier for non-English speaking parents to gain access to information on childcare. The Language Line, which covers more than 100 languages, will provide three-way communication over the phone with callers connected to an interpreter via the operator. The Trust said research has shown that language problems and lack of information on childcare are barriers to work and study for parents. Stephen Burke, Daycare Trust director, said, 'Better childcare services for minority ethnic families will help build a thriving multi-ethnic Britain where everyone has a better chance in life.' The helpline is on 020 7840 3350, Monday to Friday, from 10am to 5pm.
