Sure Start

Issue

  • Charities, trade unions, celebrities and parents today join together to launch "shout out for a sure start" - a new campaign that will give supporters of Sure Start Children's Centres a powerful voice

Key points

  • Under Labour, there will soon be a Sure Start children's centre for every community, with 3,500 in place by the end of next month.

  • David Cameron wants to take Sure Start backwards. He would restrict places only to those on the very lowest incomes - ending access to Sure Start children's centres for middle class families.
  • The shout out for a sure start' campaign's website is http://shoutoutforasurestart.org.uk/
