This paper sets out the changes in policy and delivery that could create an ideal system for early childhood in England, with the aim of narrowing the gap in outcomes at school entry between children in low-income families and their better off peers.

In this pre-budget submission, SNAICC calls on the Australian government to bring to life the commitments they have made through the National Agreement on Closing the Gap by investing in the policy reform, programs and structural change needed to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families to heal and to thrive.

The largest survey of the early childhood sector in Aotearoa in recent years, Kōriporipo, shines a light on the immense pressures facing ECE kaiako (teachers) and kaimahi (workers) and makes recommendations that could transform the sector.
