Manifesto 06/07- Education and training

enable javascript

Lone parents' top priority: Give more support to lone parents in education and training and ensure all children receive a good education.

Improve the training and support for education of lone parents. Extend access to NVQ level 3 training across the country.
Implement Ambition-style programmes at the local level which encourage training and development in areas of skill-shortage amongst lone parents.
Offer incentives to the job brokers delivering the National Employer Training programme to work with Jobcentre Plus and employment service providers to ensure that lone parents are placed in jobs with opportunities for training.
Make the funds available for local authorities to provide grants for school uniform to all those in receipt of maximum Child Tax Credit.
To provide an incentive to participate in learning , the Adult Learning Grant could be extended to lone parents on out-of-work benefits such as Income Support.

Goal: Ensure that all families can increase their chances of obtaining better-paid and more secure employment.
