Stakeholder Response: 4Children

 

Anne Longfield, chief executive of 4Children, said: "It's time we decide as a society that we need to support young people – recognising that all children need help, support, inspiration and opportunities at this crucial stage in their development.

 

"The cost of a legacy of not addressing that need has to be completely overhauled with investment focused on prevention not punishment and young people enabled to become active in providing the solutions.
