Social Justice

At the heart of Iain's Conservatism is a belief in 'one nation'. Iain believes that every person of every background, religion and colour deserves a secure income and access to decent schools and hospitals.

Iain founded the Centre for Social Justice as part of his commitment to Britain's most vulnerable people. The Centre believes that a more diverse voluntary sector, stronger families and a tough approach to crime and drugs, will help win the continuing war on poverty.

 

Tories propose adding new module to childcare training

 

Former Conservative party leader Iain Duncan Smith has recommended that a new module be added to childcare courses to teach practitioners how to identify developmental problems in children.

The Green Paper from the Centre for Social Justice, an independent think-tank set up by Mr Duncan Smith, was published last week ahead of the Government's Green Paper on families.

It claims that early years training fails to take into account the importance of a child's neurological development and does not fully equip professionals to identify children experiencing parenting deficits.
