We are delighted to be working with Mission 44 on the Ambitious about inclusion roadshows.
The Centre for Young Lives welcomes the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill as a positive and important step towards improving the safeguarding of vulnerable children and boosting their life chances. It addresses issues we have been very concerned about over many years, including vulnerable children falling through the gaps and into danger.
The Centre for Young Lives wants to see the health and wellbeing of children and young people at the heart of the NHS 10-year plan. Taking care of the health of children is crucial to making sure we have a fit and healthy adult population – yet children’s health needs after often an add on or afterthought rather than a priority. We are calling for a once-in-a-generation rebalance to prioritise children’s health.
