New alliance formed to help transform Scottish childcare

The charity Children in Scotland has launched a Childcare Alliance to work towards identifying a new model of childcare in the country.

The Alliance, made up of a network of partners, aims to drive forward an ambitious agenda for change in the sector, recommending what Scottish Childcare might look like in the future.

Backed by a number of third sector organisations, it will seek to identify practical and sustainable ways of organising, delivering and funding quality childcare.

Alongside this, a new accompanying Partnership Commission for Childcare Reforms has been formed to drive the Alliance's work by consulting with employers, childcare providers and families.

A priority of the Commission will be to understand how a new model of childcare provision could support employers, and what sources of funding could sustain this model in the long-term.
