"My plan was always for it to be a short term job while my son was still small. What I didn’t expect was how much I enjoyed spending time with the children in my care and not forgetting being my own boss. The sense of pride having a successful business is immense." #WeCareWales

HMRC's new online tool allows those who are self-employed to register & check if they're eligible to claim a grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme. Have you used this yet? Are your outcomes positive or negative? More info & links here - bit.ly/2Sz9oN6

“...we remain extremely worried and concerned for the almost 40,000 self-employed registered childminders in England & Wales....More has to be done by Government to recognise the impact this decision is having on these sole traders...” Full info & quote - pacey.org.uk/news-and-views/…

Today Wales has joined more than 58 other nations across the world to legally end the physical punishment of children. Over the next two years we will run an awareness-raising campaign to inform the public of the new law, which will come into force in 2022.#ChildrenWalesBill
