DCSF (2007) The Children’s Plan: Building Brighter Futures
The Children’s Plan sets out government plans for the next ten years. It is based on five principles:
• government does not bring up children – parents do – so government needs to do more to back parents and families;
• all children have the potential to succeed and should go as far as their talents can take them;
• children and young people need to enjoy their childhood as well as grow up prepared for adult life;
• services need to be shaped by and responsive to children, young people and families, not designed around professional boundaries; and
• it is always better to prevent failure than tackle a crisis later.
