Openreach - Our partner

Openreach looks after the wires that connect homes and businesses to the local telephone exchange – where the Communications Providers’ national networks take over.

Communication is at the heart of Openreach’s business, this includes working closely with I CAN to reach the friends and families of all primary and pre-school children – helping them to develop the communication skills that are needed to get the very best start in life.

Openreach is passionate about I CAN’s work, and recognise how critical good communication skills are to every young child as they start school.

"By working together, Openreach and I CAN have an opportunity to help even more parents and carers equip pre-school children with the fundamental communication skills they need from their first day at school right through to the workplace and beyond.

By combining our expertise, resources, networks and channels we enable I CAN to reach out to more families and help make a real difference to the future of all children in the UK." Steve Robertson, Chief Executive, Openreach
