Key ask highlights critical role of #childcare this #AE2022 - "Address the unequal distribution & undervaluing of caring responsibilities & implement the Childcare Strategy/Government Funded Childcare Provision"
The Women's Policy Group has produced a paper on our Key Assembly Election Asks 2022. We've summarised some of the key outstanding recommendations from the Feminist Recovery Plan that we want candidates to prioritise if elected!

Our no 1 ask ahead of #AE22 is that the new @niexecutive delivers an ambitious, inclusive & fully funded #ChildcareStrategy that supports parents to afford the childcare they need & providers to deliver it sustainably. Childcare is essential to our economy & must be a priority

"High quality childcare is key social infrastructure" - we couldn't agree more!
These findings echo what's happening in Northern Ireland where we are seeing childcare fees rising as providers face increased costs. Yet our new #ChildcareStrategy further delayed.

This is key support for children & families, particularly during the worsening #costoflivingcrisis - we support the call from @ChildreninNI for all political parties to commit to continuing School Holiday Food Grants
CiNI urge political parties to commit to the continuation of School Holiday Food Grants and to ensure that payments for struggling families are a day one priority for the new Northern Ireland Executive. @MMcIlveenDUP @Education_NI @DeirdreHargey @CommunitiesNI @conormurphysf

This is key support for children & families, particularly during worsening #costoflivingcrisis - all parties need to come together after the election to form an Executive, appoint Ministers and make progress on the issues that matter to families
Scheme to pay for free school meals during holidays cannot be guaranteed due to the lack of an executive

Positive to see parties' commitment to delivery of a new #ChildcareStrategy to support parents & the childcare sector, who can't afford to wait any longer for the support & investment which is already many years' overdue. Looking forward to this being a day 1 priority after #AE22

Tomorrow @GlasgowCC will force 1000 less taxis off Glasgow’s streets by June 2023. This means mayhem for late night workers, members of the public & drivers alike.
No-one benefits. Stop the #BlackCabBlackout

Tune in tomorrow from 1pm for the first ever women's parliament @niassembly - one of the topics for debate is the importance of #childcare in enabling women to access education & training, opportunities for social inclusion, & of course to get into and stay in work
I'm SO pleased to say that tomorrow the Women's Policy Group will be taking 40+ women to the @niassembly for the first ever 'Women's Parliament'. We will be debating a motion on our Feminist Recovery Plan and will have 20 women sharing their lived experiences. #WomensParliamentNI
They whispered to her... you cannot withstand the storm. She whispered back, I AM THE STORM!!!!!!!
