The Early Childhood Forum, co-ordinated by the National Children's Bureau (NCB), has joined forces with leading children's organisations to form a new childcare coalition in response to the Childcare Bill. The ECF, which has 48 member organisations around the UK, including the National Day Nurseries Association and the National Childminding Association, signed a joint briefing giving their feedback on the Bill, with the NSPCC, Barnardo's, the autism charity Treehouse, Contact a Family and the Special Education Consortium, and will work together on lobbying the Government.
