Wales
Working with families, schools and communities
Children spend up to 80% of their time outside of school. So having engaged, informed and confident parents can make a huge difference to their learning.
To ensure children get the best start in life, we support families in some of Wales' most deprived communities. Our teams work with education, health and social care partners to deliver a range of programmes.
Our campaigning work
The early years are a critical stage in children's development.
But right now, too many children in Wales are falling behind before they even start school. And it's those growing up in poverty who are most affected.
That's why we're asking the Welsh Government to take action and invest in better support for parents, and to make sure early years staff can deliver world-class early learning and childcare.
