This update highlights what the campaign has achieved over the past year but also, importantly, looks at where there is still more work to do.

Our new plan builds on Bright Futures’ successes and focusses our efforts for the coming year.

Our 7-point plan for coordinated action across the public, community and voluntary sectors, to help offer the brightest future for children and families.

Councils are, in many ways, just at the beginning of this journey to curb violent crime with growing evidence that the key is a ‘public health approach’ – treating it as a disease that can be cured. By working together with our local partners we can make a difference.

Children and young people's mental health services and social care can help to pick up the pieces when things go wrong. But it is councils and their partners who can play a lead role in trying to ensure problems don't develop in the first place.

A report by Angel Solutions commissioned by the Local Government Association (LGA). This report compares Local Authority (LA)-maintained schools, academies, and free schools using the overall Ofsted inspection grade as the primary benchmark.

The LGA alongside the Association of Directors of Children's Services (ADCS) and the Association of Youth Offending Teams (YOT) Managers, have produced this joint policy position paper highlighting the challenges facing the youth justice system.

This report contains a whole range of examples of the steps that need to be taken to achieve success. Many of the areas included are places where there have traditionally been high rates of tooth decay, but where significant improvements are now being made.

The LGA commissioned the Isos Partnership to work with councils and their partners to understand the key enablers and barriers to sustained improvement in Children’s Services.

This document outlines our ambitions for a child-centred recovery, drawing together every aspect of policy and service delivery to create the places people want to live in and plan for the future.
