Waltham Forest Council

Waltham Forest Council has delivered a new integrated Early Years model where Children and Family Centres work alongside health visitors and other specialist health support, such as an infant feeding service, to provide advice and support for parents and their children. Despite Government cuts to SureStart, the Council has also opened a new £1.9 million Children and Family Centre - The Junction. Working with the NHS and community organisations, the centre aims to bring together children and adult learning by providing childcare services, speech and language sessions, healthy eating advice and return to work routes for parents. This new model has greatly improved partnership working and seen the reach of the children’s centres increase, with the proportion of 0–4 year olds registered at a Children and Family Centre now standing at 80%.

The LGA Labour Group exists to fight the corner for Labour councillors at a national level, both within
the cross-party Local Government Association and with the Labour Party at Westminster. The Group provide a strong voice for Labour councillors and act as a platform for ideas and innovation for all those committed to an effective localist element to Labour politics and policies.
