Have your say! The Council is planning changes to children’s centres across Bradford. 

· The proposal includes bringing children’s centres into a 0 - 19 Prevention and Early Help Service, managed by the Council.

· This means that children’s centres will be part of a larger service, that includes support for older children too.

· The proposal includes a cut of £13.3 million to the budget for children’s centres and the other services included in the proposal. This means that up to half of our staff will lose their jobs.

· There is nothing in the proposal about Stay and Play sessions, adult education courses and outreach.

What you can do:

· Fill in the online consultation survey 

· Go to one of the consultation meetings

Monday 15th January 10.30 – 12.00 Manningham Library
