Every Child Matters

The transition from childhood to adulthood can be a difficult time for any one. But it’s especially hard for young people who have struggled to connect with society through school or community activities. All of our work is geared towards enabling children and young people to make successful transitions.

We are also committed to achieving the key outcomes of the 

Every Child Matters strategy which is for every child to be offered the support they need to:

Be healthy
Stay safe
Enjoy and achieve
Make a positive contribution
Achieve economic well-being

Every Child Matters (link) sets expectations of all organizations providing services to children - from hospitals and schools, to police and voluntary groups - to collaborate in new ways, to share information and to work together to protect children and young people from harm and help them achieve what they want in life.
