The government has cut in childcare schemes and causes many students not to be able to take up places in Further Education. Youthreach & Traveller Training Centres, & causes others to drop out. It also puts huge pressure on creches which depend on the students to operate & have been set up for these students. Some creches in CDVEC can still not open due to lack of funds. It has taken many years of effort to get the childcare provision we have now, we cannot afford to let it slip away.
