Advice on setting long-term goals
The Children’s Plan sets out our ambition to be the best place in the world for children to grow up
We need a Children’s Plan now because….
• childhood is changing
• most children happy and achieving – but not all
• need to move from above average to world class
Plan built on five principles….
• government does not bring up children – parents do
• all children have the potential to succeed
• children and young people need to enjoy their childhood
• services need to be shaped by and responsive to children, young people and their families
• it is always better to prevent failure than tackle a crisis later
