Not Another Mummy Podcast

Bridget Phillipson: Childcare, school attendance and reforming the SEND system


Listen Later

I’m joined on this episode by the Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson. In her position in the cabinet, Bridget oversees the Department for Education so is well placed to talk about childcare and early years, and all things school related.


Bridget is also a mum of two so I’m sure she knows what it’s like to navigate all the challenges motherhood brings.


Bridget tells me how her working class upbringing in a single parent household has impacted the decisions she makes in her job.


We also cover the new 30 hours funded childcare offering, new school based nurseries, free breakfast clubs, SEND provision, school attendance and smartphone policies.


Plus she tells me what it was like to be an extra on Byker Grove in the 90s.
