What is the Every Child Matters: Change for Children Programme?
The Every Child Matters: Change for Children programme is the most significant programme of change for services working with children and young people for decades. Its origins lie partly in the problems that led to the death of Victoria Climbie in London, and partly in an increasing emphasis on joined up and integrated working. The two key drivers behind the Every Child Matters: Change for Children programme are the Children Act (2004) and the National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services.
