Reform UK’s ‘pro-family’ policies are an exclusionary sham, minister says

Olivia Bailey says she wants Sure Start-style hubs that will be rolled out in England on Monday to be inclusive for all

Reform UK’s “pro-family” policies are a sham and exclude non-traditional families, the government’s early years minister has said before the rollout of hundreds of new Sure Start-style family centres across England on Monday.

Olivia Bailey said she wanted the hubs to be inclusive for all families and transform communities, after what she called the “criminal” dismantling of Sure Start under the last Conservative government.
