The Every Child Matters Agenda

The Every Child Matters agenda is a UK initiative designed to ensure children and young people are safe, healthy, enjoy learning, make positive contributions, and achieve economic well-being. It emphasizes collaborative efforts among services like education, health, and social care to support children's development holistically. By focusing on these five outcomes, it aims to improve children’s quality of life, prevent harm, and provide the necessary support for their growth and future success. The agenda encourages integrated policies and practices that prioritize the well-being of every child.
