We have asked the Education Minister to step in & remove the worry for children, young people & parents by urging schools to adopt a reasonable & flexible approach upon the return to school. Expensive #SchoolUniforms are a choice that schools have made despite Department guidance
The Education Minister is failing to adequately address the cost of school uniforms. Instead she is dodging questions that pose potential solutions. This response does nothing to alleviate the pressures that parents are under right now.
Helpful guide to the Healthy Start scheme (who is eligible, how to claim etc) available on our website employersforchildcare.org/parents/downlo… Our advisors can help families make sure they are receiving all the financial support they are entitled to - call 0800 028 3008 for personalised advice
📢📢 HALF of eligible families entitled to apply to the Healthy Start Scheme in NI have not done so. It provides up to £442 per year to purchase food & milk. Can you help push out? healthystart.nhs.uk @AdviceNI @AdviceSpace_ @NBAPAdvice @ArdoyneAdvice @WSN_NI @ParentActionNI
We are now entering the season when #parents once again have to dig deep to pay for summer #SchoolUniforms as the crested polo shirts and summer uniforms begin to make an appearance. Parents need to see change in the midst of this challenging financial climate @DEpermsec

Would be so disappointing if Dept of Education budget pressures impact any plans to widen access to school uniform grants. All the more reason why we need legislation to cap these costs for everyone
This is worrying for #parents already struggling to afford #SchoolUniforms who may be hopeful of an increase in grant support. Even more reason for the introduction of legislation with an embedded price cap to protect all families from excessive school uniform costs! #PutACapOnIt

A new budget for Northern Ireland has been set at Westminster, with the Education Department told it will need to make significant cuts #Stormont bbc.in/3Xrs80W
👏An excellent briefing from @CPAGScotland to the @scotgov as they consult on #SchoolUniform statutory guidance. 'School costs can be impossible to afford for families on lower incomes. Uniform represents one of the most significant costs.' Read more 👇 bit.ly/3ObPjs5
Loads more examples like this - it's so hard for so many right now and they really need help to afford the basics and get through this winter ⬇️
