The manifesto, A Vote for Children and Families 2010, calls for more support to be offered for working parents, including looking at ways for childcare providers to offer more flexible care for parents, providing fully flexible provision of free places for threeand four-year-olds, and better advice and practical help for parents looking for work and finding childcare.
Other proposed measures include extending Sure Start Children's Centres to cater for primary and secondary school children, ensuring that public services meet the needs of families, tackling child poverty and improving neighbourhoods and building family-friendly communities.
