Jodie Reed and Home-Start UK

Isos Partnership Director Jodie Reed will take up a new position as co-CEO of Home-Start UK from mid-September. This is a brilliant opportunity for Jodie, and Home-Start UK will benefit from the wealth of knowledge Jodie brings as a national expert on early childhood and families policy and services.

Jodie joined Isos Partnership in 2020, having previously led work on early years and childcare in the Department for Education, Ark and the Institute of Public Policy Research . As a Director of Isos Partnership, Jodie has championed our work on early years, which has included ground-breaking work on the impact of the coronavirus lockdowns on babies and lessons for recovery, integration of early years services, the impact of nursery closures, and a new vision for early childhood education and care.

Early years is and will continue to be a significant focus of our work, and we are well-placed to continue this work with a number of exciting projects in this space currently. This work will continue to benefit from Jodie’s knowledge and expertise, as Jodie will continue to be involved with Isos Partnership on an Associate basis beyond September, initially working with us on a new project with Nesta on family support (watch this space!).

Isos Partnership has benefited immeasurably from Jodie’s work over the past five years, and will continue to do so as she takes up her new role with Home-Start UK in the autumn.
