Save Our East Sussex Children's Centres
East Sussex Children's Services please reconsider the decision to no longer staff drop-in sessions and close centers that are a lifeline to local families. This is not cost effective as the continuity of professional, engaged and creative staff in the early years of development for babies, toddlers and their parent's has a long term benefit to society.
Why is this important?
By axing these groups and asking parents and volunteers to run them will have a detrimental effect on safeguarding, mental health, islolation and parenting issues which will in turn place further burden on other health services. Parents and children need this vital day to day support. These are short term cuts with long term implications.
