National Children’s Bureau releases Manifesto for a Better Childhood

The NCB has developed a Manifesto with children and young people, setting out its priorities for the new government ahead of the general election.

The Manifesto sets out a positive vision for improving young lives, starting in pregnancy and continuing until a young person’s 25th birthday. The six priority areas demanded of the government in the document are:

 

  • Develop a Children’s and Young People’s Strategy
  • Put children’s voices at the heart of the political process
  • Stop children and young people growing up in poverty
  • Improve outcomes in early childhood
  • Deliver an inclusive education system
  • Promote and protect our children’s wellbeing and mental health
