In September 2003, the government produced its Green Paper Every Child Matters, which set out five child-centred outcomes that should underpin all children’s and youth services in England. This was followed by a Five-Year Strategy for Children and Learners, which outlined an extensive and ambitious agenda designed to inform and support a major transformation in the design and delivery of national
and local services for all young people and adults. Its
the basic philosophical principle is to protect, nurture and
improve the quality of life for children and young
people.
