Notice Title
Contract for Local London Economic Inactivity Trailblazer: Childcare Support and Economic Inactivity Research
Notice Description
Local London is a strategic sub-regional partnership of nine boroughs: Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Bromley, Enfield, Greenwich, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, and Waltham Forest. We work collaboratively to address shared socio-economic challenges, reduce inequalities, and create inclusive economic growth. As part of our wider Economic Inactivity Trailblazer (EITB) initiative, funded by the Greater London Authority (GLA) via the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), we are commissioning a standalone research study focused on understanding the role of childcare support in tackling economic inactivity across our region. This research will inform future programme delivery, influence policy development, and support system change around how childcare is aligned with employment and economic participation for residents not currently supported by traditional welfare-to-work offers.
