UNISON and parents’ response to the proposal to cut children’s centre provisions in Lambeth
We thank all the professionals and families who helped produce A Better Plan. We also drew heavily on research into the sector. We have tried to acknowledge sources and authors where appropriate but this has been balanced with requested anonymity and desire to keep the document readable for its purposes. We publish this response in order to add to community discussion on the closure of Lambeth’s Children’s Centre.
Read A Better Plan online. Please contact your councillors about this issue and add your voice to the campaign!
