Under the inquiry, MPs will investigate whether progress has been made on outcomes for children and young people since 2019 – when the Committee previously reported on the topic – examining the effectiveness of Family Hubs and what the barriers are to delivering high-quality early years services.

Chaired by Liberal Democrat MP, Layla Moran, the Committee has chosen to revisit the subject as the Government looks to ‘break down barriers to opportunity’ one of its six missions within its Plan for Change.  

The inquiry will also examine how the Government can effectively tackle disparities in infant health outcomes, including disparities in outcomes for disabled children.
