The Children's Plan aims to make England 'the best place in the world for our children and young people to grow up', according to Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families Ed Balls, by building on the past ten years of reforms and responding to concerns about issues such as work-life balance and poverty.
Principles
- Parents, not Government, bring up children, so Government needs to do more to back families.
- All children have the potential to succeed and should go as far as their talents can take them.
- Children and young people need to enjoy their childhood as well as grow up prepared for adult life.
