Save the Children want to speak to families having difficulty with childcare element of UC

Save the Children are currently running a campaign called Make Childcare Work that is all about fixing problems with how childcare support through Universal Credit works to make the system work better for families.

To help inform the campaign, we’re looking to speak to families who have experienced difficulties with the childcare element of Universal Credit e.g. who are concerned about what’s on offer, struggling with upfront costs or worried about how they’re going to be able to afford them.

I wanted to see if you might be able to point us in the direction of families who are struggling with these issues, or if you or any of the advisors you work with may know of any families who would be happy to speak with Save the Children about their experiences?

If you know of any families, or are happy to put a call out to advisors asking them if they work with any, we’ve got a short form that families receiving childcare support through Universal Credit can fill in (here:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PYMZG3M) or they can email me on .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and we can arrange for a member of our team to speak with them.
