One year on
It’s now been a year since the Department for Children, Schools and Families was created. We were formed to make Britain the best place for children and young people to grow up. We want to:
- make children and young people happy and healthy
- keep them safe and sound
- give them a top class education
- help them stay on track.
Our Children’s Plan sets out how we can achieve our ambitions.
