News from Jennette Arnold OBE (past staff): Response to the Healthy Early Years London Programme

Created on
01 November 2018

In response to the Mayor’s launch of his Healthy Early Years London programme, local London Assembly Member, Jennette Arnold OBE AM, said:

“All children deserve the best possible start in life to ensure they are ready and fully equipped for the world of education and beyond. Sadly, many are being deprived of this due to the stark economic and health inequalities that exist in our capital.

“It is a deep social injustice that children in our community face growing up in poverty and this is why I am urging local childcare providers especially those who provide a service for children with SEND to sign-up to this programme.

“It is incredibly important that we invest in the social and emotional wellbeing, and health, of our children from a young age to ensure that the next generation of Londoners grow up to have equal access to all the opportunities that the capital has to offer”.
