The Government is providing local authorities with information that enables them to target information about the entitlement directly to parents’ of eligible children. The Department is also working to ensure that other professionals, such as health visitors and Jobcentre Plus advisers, are able to support parent awareness of their child’s entitlements. We are also about to start a targeted marketing campaign to help raise awareness further.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 23/07/2014 14:53:05 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
