“Motherhood is valuable, honourable and a deep responsibility - it is a privilege'...
'We need to recognise that mothers who invest time in their children are doing a great service to society."
A cry in the wilderness or the start of a quiet revolution? Miriam Cates MP, almost alone in Parliament, against a backdrop of cries for ever increasing subsidised childcare and drive to get mothers back into the paid workforce, champions the choice for mothers to be able to care for their children at home.
Politics, it is said, is the art of the possible. Miriam will address Mothers at Home Matter on what is possible to achieve at Westminster; how we can change the nature of the debate and effect real change both economically and socially. Miriam, a mother of three, was herself a stay at home mother until entering Parliament as MP for Penistone & Stocksbridge at 2019 election. She sits on the Parliament Advisory Board for Early Years Healthy Development Review and recognises the increasing evidence that a child’s earliest experiences are a significant factor in determining how happy and healthy they will be as adults.
“The choice of women to stay at home to care for their children should not be a privilege that only the rich can afford, it should not be seen as an inferior choice or second best.
“Let’s give all women real freedom and real choice over both their work and their family lives.”
