Every Child Matters
Every Child Matters: Change for Children is a shared programme of change to improve outcomes for all children and young people. It takes forward the Government’s vision of radical reform for children, young people and families.
Children and young people have told us that five outcomes are key to wellbeing in childhood and later life:
- being healthy
- staying safe
- enjoying and achieving
- making a positive contribution
- achieving economic wellbeing.
The programme aims to improve those outcomes for all children and to close the gap in outcomes between the disadvantaged and their peers.
