New research from the CHANGE project on the cost of childcare

CHANGE: Childcare and Nurture Glasgow East is a Big Lottery funded project led by Children in Scotland (CiS) and partnered with the GCPH, Glasgow City Council, Scottish Out of School Care Network and Thriving Places. The project has been working with communities in the East of Glasgow since October 2016.

CHANGE have spoken to more than 150 families living in the area about childcare, and in particular, any barriers they may face when trying to access services.  During this time, the cost of childcare has been the most frequently mentioned of these barriers. The December 2018 analysis of the cost of childcare in these communities explores the significant cost of using childcare and the impact this has on families.
