Response to Rishi Sunak’s post on childcare
Mothers At Home Matter responds to the Prime Minister’s LinkedIn post today. When the time is right, it would be good to support mothers back into work with returner schemes and acknowledgement that they have gained important skills whilst childrearing. This is not necessarily at nine months when an infant still needs its mother or primary carer.

Response to The Guardian
Mothers at Home Matter welcome the news that Liz Truss and her education minister, Kit Malthouse, are exploring widening the options for childcare, freeing parents to spend on childcare as they see fit. We remind Liz Truss of her pledge to remove the penalties for parents staying at home to care for their children and implore her and Kit Malthouse that this cash should also be accessible for parents caring at home.
