Important new @EduPolicyInst research today on the disadvantage gap and differences in local trends. Isos Partnership are pleased to be collaborators on the Funding Futures project and in 2025 will be exploring what lies behind these figures and lessons for targeting support.
Today @EduPolicyInst publishes our new report on local disadvantage gaps in England.
We explore which areas have the smallest + largest disadvantage gaps in recent years and how these change as children progress through the system.

Earlier this week @ippr published a major childcare reform report by Isos Director Jodie Reed. You can hear Jodie talking about it on @BBCWomansHour from Tuesday or access the full here https://t.co/e6xW8aZJj7
It’s excellent news that the government is committed to expanding childcare, but increased entitlement must be matched by more provision and places.

Check out this thought provoking piece from the excellent Isos Associate @salhogg on the need to think differently about how we structure specialist expertise in order to for local systems to deliver better early support.
My new blog for @IsosPartnership describes why we need to move away from the traditional universal/targeted/specialist triangle, and instead deploy specialist expertise strategically across the population.

Really useful new research from @JodeReed @IsosPartnership about the closure of childcare places with recommendations describing what will be required to ensure sufficient places in the future. https://t.co/Xo4pEBAXKV
Our new research published today has found that 9 in 10 councils fear that nursery closures this year will undermine capacity ahead of the rollout of the Govt’s extension of the 30 hours free childcare scheme.
Take a look at the full report 👇

Ten years ago this month, we named the first five winners of the Mayors Challenge, a program encouraging city leaders to partner with residents to dream up ambitious new approaches to major urban challenges.
Delighted to see @cypnow covering our #Beyondboundaries report about gaps in the early years system and how all parts of the system can work together for young children. https://t.co/dx16W3QjnC @JodeReed
Here's our latest report, with analysis and recommendations on building better integrated early years systems and services. #beyondboundaries#earlyyears
Why do some babies and young children fall through the net and not get help they need? What gets in the way of early years services working effectively together? And what works? Our NEW report #BeyondBoundaries today for @londoncouncils@IsosPartnership https://t.co/DiOmOeBEQf
Great to see our #BeyondBoundaries report covered in @standardnews. We propose local, London & national changes to get early years systems working better together - and include insight from local systems already joining up well for 0-5s https://t.co/sLGXpvjg3P
£3.1 billion has been allocated by the UK Government for “catch-up” initiatives for school-aged children in the last year. A fraction of this money, wisely invested could drive the system change and service improvement required to give all our babies the best start in life. 9/10
National Government can take action now to enable joined-up local action, and to ensure that no local area is allowed to fail its youngest citizens. #WorkingForBabies 8/10
We do not want to return to normal after the pandemic, because for many babies and their families in the UK, normal was not good enough. We must build back better for babies. #WorkingForBabies 7/10
