CORONAVIRUS: Alliance welcomes reappointment of Tulip Siddiq as shadow early years minister

Commenting, Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Early Years Alliance, said:

“We warmly welcome Tulip’s reappointment as shadow children and early years minister. In this role, and in her previous position as chair of the APPG for childcare and early education, she has demonstrated a clear willingness to engage with the early years sector, and an understanding of the key concerns of childcare providers.

"With the sector currently facing huge challenges in light of the coronavirus outbreak, now more than ever we need a strong opposition to hold the government to account. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Tulip to ensure that providers get the support they need to get through this difficult period and beyond."
