Chair of the Commmission on Young Lives and former Children's Commissioner for England 2015-21 Anne Elizabeth Longfield.The former children's commissioner for England has urged to invest in the UK's "broken" childcare system after a report found a lack of access to suitable childcare is costing the UK economy £27 billion year.
A quarter, equivalent to one and a half million mothers in the real world, said if they had access to suitable childcare they would work more hours. It comes amid mounting pressure on the government to announce funding for the UK's childcare system on Budget Day, which is set to take place next Wednesday on March 15.
