The Alliance has announced that it is extending its campaign to parents.
The campaign will be launching a dedicated mini-site to help them understand current concerns about funding for the early years sector. In the meantime, parents can sign up as a supporter of the campaign online at .
Fair Future Funding now also has the support of Netmums, who the Alliance will be working with to help raise awareness of the problems around the 30-hours offer and sector funding. Netmums is the biggest parenting website in the UK offering news, information and online chat to parents.
The campaign is calling on the government ensure that funding increases to meet the cost of provision by monitoring the delivery costs on a local level and committing to an annual review of funding levels.
Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Alliance, said: 鈥淲e know from our success with Rewind on Ratios that the sector鈥檚 voice is strongest when we speak alongside parents 鈥 as has been demonstrated more recently by the high-profile campaigns against schools funding cuts, which have made great use of parent support.
Neil also welcomed the support of Netmums in raising the profile of the campaign. He added: 鈥淲e hope that all Fair Future Funding supporters will encourage their parents to sign up to the campaign and help us ensure that neither they nor providers end up paying for a manifesto promise that the government chose to make.鈥
