A difficult home life. A missed diagnosis. A disrupted education.
Falling in with a bad crowd. Exploitation. Every year thousands of
children fall through the gaps in our society and too often become
victims of a destructive cycle. Former Commissioner for Children in
England Anne Longfield CBE has met many children and families
living through adversity and social inequality. She has witnessed
how we have failed to protect and support children and young people
- through inadequate mental health support and support in school,
unsafe social care and punitive youth justice. But she has also
seen first-hand incredible work pioneered by services and
communities to help transform young people's lives for the better.
In Young Lives, Big Ambitions Anne Longfield makes a positive case
for why we need to do better. She articulates a vision of society
that places the needs of children and young people at its heart,
and the steps we can take in order to improve life chances for all
young people.
