Gingerbread calls for strategy to address childcare gaps

Gingerbread believes that there are currently three major challenges for childcare policy. This paper discusses these challenges and possible solutions.

Tax breaks for married parents would not be the best way to tackle child poverty

Research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows that spending money on a transferable income tax allowance for parents with young children will have less effect on child poverty than increasing working tax credit for couples with young children, which in turn has less effect than increasing the value of the child element of the child tax credit.

'Single parents, equal families' sets out five principles that Gingerbread suggests should underly policy, and discusses the implications of these.
