With provocative insight and based on an illustrious 40-year career
in public office, Sir Al Aynsley-Green demands to know why outcomes
for the UK's children for health, education, social care, youth
justice and poverty remain among the worst in the developed world.
He draws global comparisons and offers astute observations of the
realities of being a young person in Britain today, to show how
government policies have been shamefully failing children on a
grand scale. Prioritising the need to support and inspire all
children, including those with disability or disadvantage, and to
design services around their needs, Sir Al puts forward a brave and
timely alternative for the UK. By building local communities,
shifting national attitudes, and confronting barriers between
sectors, he presents a fresh and realistic road map that can enable
new generations of children to be as healthy, educated, creative
and resilient as they can be, equipped with the confidence and
skills they need to lead happy and successful lives. A must-read
for those engaged in children's services, policy and parenting in
the UK, Sir Al confronts the obstacles and attitudes faced by young
people today with tact, honesty and compassion, to offer his vision
of a society in which each and every child is valued.
